"Game of Thrones" fans cannot wait for the season 6 premiere to learn once and for all about the fate of several characters as the season 5 finale was full of cliffhangers. But it looks like the new season's premiere might be pushed back a little next year, and viewers will have to wait a little more to see if Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is alive and whether Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) has survived her encounter with the Dothraki riders.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, HBO confirmed a Feb. 14 premiere of a new series called "Vinyl" and a Feb. 21 premiere of the fifth and second seasons of "Girls" and "Togetherness," respectively. All three are expected to end their 10-episode runs by mid to late April, which would likely result in season 6 of "Game of Thrones" being pushed back from its usual premiere in late March or early April to late April, or even early May.
Meanwhile, "Game of Thrones"-centric website Watchers on the Wall continues to report spoilers from the set of the HBO series. According to the website, the show is filming a battle scene in Northern Ireland, referred to by fans as the battle of Saintfield. It was confirmed by the site that Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, was seen filming on the battlefield. There are reportedly a few Starks in the battle—including Jon Snow.
The battle is said to have some casualties and the website says that fans will have to say goodbye to some characters.
In the battle scene, Ramsay Bolton will reportedly be displaying two bodies upside down on X-crosses, which will be burning during the battle. The unfortunate two are said to be known characters. Apart from that, a giant is also said to be in the attack scenes.
HBO has yet to release a premiere date for season 6 of "Game of Thrones."
