As for the HBO TV series, filming for the upcoming season is now underway, and producers are trying their best to conceal and prevent leaks from surfacing. Fans of the show have been keeping a close eye on the cast and crew. “Game of Thrones” filming locations include North Ireland and Spain.
According to The Week, Jon Snow will definitely be back this season. After his character’s shocking near-death dilemma during the Season 5 finale, Kit Harrington has been spotted on the set, highly suggesting that Jon Snow will survive his latest tryst with death.
His character has been a staple of the franchise and he has been a fan favorite as well. A fan website also claims that Harrington’s Snow will be involved in a major battle sequence near the Season 6 finale.
Another spoiler reveals that Sean Bean, who played Ned Stark in Season 1 of “Game of Thrones,” has been spotted on set in the Spanish hills. A fan explains on his Facebook page that the actor was definitely present on the set.
While the character possibly might come back from the dead as well, it is also important to note that Sebastian Croft was reportedly cast to play the young version of the Lord of Winterfell.
The 13-year-old English actor would play Ned in flashbacks which might be the reason why Bean was there, to shoot some flashback scenes as well.
Lastly, a long shooting period is expected to occur in Saintfield, Northern Ireland where the cast will be filming a huge fighting sequence between the Boltons and the wildings. Several reports claim that the fight scene might just be what the season’s hype is all about.
