Iwan Rheon portrays the role of the despicable psychopath Ramsay Bolton in the TV adaptation of "Game of Thrones." But the actor revealed that his character will change when the epic series returns to HBO for season 6.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Rheon revealed that there is more to Ramsay than meets the eye.

"I get to do loads of different things and show sides to Ramsay that you haven't seen before. This season fills him out a bit. We pick up in the aftermath of last season when Sansa and Theon have escaped," the British actor said.

Rheon also revealed the ramifications of learning that his wife-slave Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) and Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) managed to escape his tight clutches. According to the actor, Ramsay's father Roose Bolton (Michael McElhatton) will be very disappointed. He also knows that without Sansa and their possible child, he will not have the power over the North kingdom despite being legitimized by his father.

Meanwhile, actress Maisie Williams also revealed what fans should expect from her character Arya Stark when the series returns for season 6. "Arya is being more physical again, but she's blind. So her training has progressed even more but it's on a more physical level and a more technical level because she's lost her eyes," Williams said in a separate interview with Entertainment Weekly.

The actress also revealed that the final storylines are beginning to take shape, and things are beginning to become more exciting because a lot of important characters died last season.

"Game of Thrones" season 6 premieres on Sunday, April 24, and it will also come with a companion after-show titled "After the Show" that will also air on HBO a day after each episode.

The cable network announced that the "Watch The Thrones" podcast hosts Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan will lead the upcoming after-show that will premiere on Monday, April 25.
