‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 6 — Check Out (Almost) The Entire Cast In Newly Released Photos, So Where Is Jon Snow?
From the archive: published Feb 13, 2016, 10 years ago. Details may have changed since.
Game of Thrones has officially released a new set of photos from the upcoming season. While the images include shots of just about every cast member in the hit series, Jon Snow is not among them. What does this say about the fate of Kit Harington’s character?
In the photographs, which can be viewed on Collider , twenty different characters are shown in various poses and circumstances. For some of the characters, the posters reveal that not much has changed since the end of last season.
This includes Arya (Maisie Williams), who is shown sitting on the stone steps and has clearly not recovered her sight. Khaleesi (Emilia Clarke ), meanwhile, appears just as lost and ruffled as ever. Jamie (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is getting over his loss while Cersei (Lena Headey) does not look happy, as per her usual self.
Unfortunately, a positive ending is not in store for Myrcella Baratheon (Nell Tiger Free). Myrcella was thought to have been poisoned to death last season, and the image of her corpse lying in the halls at Red Keep all but confirmed her death.
At the same time, the new posters also offered fans a first glimpse at Max von Sydow as the Three-Eyed Raven. The character is included in a shot with Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright), who also happens to be standing on his own feet. Is this a flashback scene or something else entirely?
Sadly, the most noticeable person missing from the set of photos is Jon Snow. Of course, with Jon’s ultimate fate being the center of most of the rumors about the new season, it is understandable that producers didn’t include any shots of the character.
In addition to Jon, there are a few characters that were not featured in the photographs. This includes Stannis (Stephen Dillane) and the women of House Tyrell. Stannis’ fate, like Jon’s, is still up in the air while the House Tyrell ladies are amongst fan favorites.
Along with Sydow’s appearance as the Three-Eyed Raven, Screen Crush is reporting that fans will also be introduced to a new character played by Ian McShane. The actor’s character is still unknown and he is expected to play a limited part in the season. Unfortunately, he was not included in the recent batch of photos.
As the sixth season of Game of Thrones draws closer and closer, fans can expect more promotional material to follow. They can only hope, however, that Jon’s fate will be revealed at some point before the new season hits televisions in the spring.
The sixth season of Game of Thrones is scheduled to premiere April 24 on HBO.
