Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen “She’s learning the last lesson she needs to learn,” says Clarke. “There’s just few remnants of being a human being she’s shaking off.” (Image Credit: MARC HOM for EW)

Maisie Williams as Arya Stark “Last season people asked: ‘Is she dead?’ I’m all, ‘No, she’s blind.’ It’s too easy to kill her,” says Williams. “If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Game of Thrones it’s that death is the easy way out.” (Image Credit: MARC HOM for EW)

Gwendoline Christie as Brienne of Tarth “Brienne is so unique and unconventional and so strong, and I love the writing hasn’t allowed her to just rest there,” says Christie. (Image Credit: MARC HOM for EW)

New Stills from Season 6:

Entertainment Weekly have released new stills from Season 6 featuring Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) and the Three-Eyed Raven, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) with Varys (Conleth Hill). EW also released two BTS stills featuring director Jeremy Podeswa with actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) and Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) with Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner).

Blinded for breaking the rules of The House of Black and White, Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) struggles on the streets of Braavos. Williams opted to wear rather uncomfortable opaque contacts for the blindness effect instead of having the production use CGI.

Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) and the Three-Eyed Raven (newcomer to the series Max von Sydow). Returning to the show for the first time since season 4, Bran has gained greater control of his visions and will take viewers into iconic moments from the past, present and future of Westeros.

The Breaker of Chains, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), is once again in bondage herself after she’s captured by a Dothraki clan. Daenerys discovers that the nomadic tribe has certain rules for the former wives of fallen clan leaders.

Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) and Varys (Conleth Hill) on the streets of Meereen. The duo will strive to manage the city using Westeros-style politics to keep it from once again falling into chaos.

Director Jeremy Podeswa and actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) share a laugh. Jaime returns to his sister Cersei (Lena Headey) with their daughter’s body at the start of season 6. They’ll have to work together if they’re to overcome the rise of the Faith Militant.

Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) try to escape the forces of Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) after season 5’s leap from Winterfell’s wall.

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 6 premieres on April 24, 2016.
