Even cast members can't contain their excitement for "Game of Thrones" season 6. Just recently, stars Sophie Turner and Emilia Clarke teased what's to come in the HBO juggernaut and what it took each of them to put the season together.
Clarke, who plays the role of the much-loved mother of dragons Dany in the series, said (via Collider) that the magnitude of the scenes in the new season "legitimately almost killed" everyone involved in the production.
"It is epic. It is huge. It's insane," Clarke then described "Game of Thrones" season 6. Turner aka Sansa Stark went so far as to say that the upcoming run of the multi-award-winning show will be the "biggest" and "best season yet," at least for her character.
"It's her really coming into her own. She, this season, really commands the respect that she deserves and she grabs hold of it and she runs with it and it's really good," the actress told Entertainment Weekly.
Fans of the character will certainly be glad about this news, knowing the horrors Sansa had to endure in the previous season in the hands of the crazed Ramsay Bolton. It looks like Sansa is slowly realizing that she deserves more than the people around her make it seem.
Turner also promised that in "Game of Thrones" season 6, viewers of the series will "finally [be] getting that storyline that you've been craving for the past five seasons." The actress also hinted at the "many shocks" the new season will offer.
The sixth run of the hit fantasy series is expected to mark the resurrection of Jon Snow, whose death in the last season spun never-ending debates and theories. Needless to say, the body count will continue swell and a new war will ferment.
"Game of Thrones" season 6 will premiere on April 24 on HBO.
