Obvious changes will happen to Arya Stark in the fifth season of "Game of Thrones".
The actress playing the spunky Arya Stark, Maisie Williams, said that her character will be unrecognizable next season. One of the plotlines in the new season of "Game of Thrones" is about Arya who was last seen at the end of season 4 leaving Westeros on her way to Braavos.
"You might not recognize Arya this year... and that's all I'm saying," Maisie Williams said to Yahoo! at the TV Choice Awards.
There is also a possibility that the teaser chapters of "Winds of Winter" could be adapted into the fifth season of "Game of Thrones." Spoiler website Winter Is Coming published some photos depicting a scene from the forthcoming book. Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), Roger Ashton-Griffiths (Mace Tyrell), Ian Beattie (Meryn Trant), and Mark Gatiss (Tycho Nestoris) can be seen in the photos, which hints that they are part of the upcoming book.
Meanwhile, another Stark has a new plotline in the upcoming season. It has been rumored that Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) and his buddy gentle giant Hodor (Kristian Nairn) will not back in the fifth season of the hit HBO TV show. However, while Nairn had said that he will be "sitting out of season five," there still remains the possibility that Hempstead-Wright would be in the show.
Bran and Hodor are still present in the books of author George R.R. Martin where the new season is based, but it is said that they will be given less priority and less exposure in the new season, as the small screen adaptation focuses on other characters. Moreover, HBO once claimed that they do not follow the books exactly as it is and it tweaks or deletes some of the scenes in the book to fit the TV plot line.
The cast and crew of "Game of Thrones" are now back to work and the production of the fifth season is currently underway in Europe. The show is due to come back on air in June 2015.
