Other story events deduced from interviews and leaked set photos (WARNING! HERE THERE BE SPOILERS!):



- The Wall and beyond:


-- Jon will have a scene with Stannis and Davos in which he is holding a letter. This could be Stannis' offer from the book, before the election.


* -- The election of a new Lord Commander will take place. Presumably, the result will be as in the books: Jon wins.


-- There will be a pyre in the yard of Castle Black.


-- Melisandre takes off her clothes (again)


-- A boat approaches Hardhome. Later, some of the villagers walk into the water.


-- Jon and some Wildlings go to Hardhome. They get in a fight with the Wildlings inside.


-- Someone from the water grabs a person in a boat.



* - The North:


-- Alfie has hinted that there is "a light at the end of the tunnel" for Theon next season. This is in line with his book art and his eventual escape from Winterfell.



- King's Landing:


-- The funeral procession for Tywin Lannister will indeed be Tywin's only appearance this season.


-- Margaery and Tommen will marry in the sept


-- Cersei will have a conversation with the High Sparrow in a rundown area of KL.


-- The Faith Militant will cause several disturbances in King's Landing, including a skirmish with Loras Tyrell and breaking open barrels (supporting rumors of a skirmish at an inn)


-- Diana Rigg stated in an interview one of her scenes is set in a trashed brothel.



- Braavos:


-- Arya will arrive in Bravos, knock on the doors of the House of Black and White and will assume her fish seller girl persona. There is a scene where she looks contemplatively at Needle.


-- A series of tweets by the actors hints that Lhara, Meryn Trant and Arya might be interacting next season


-- Mark Gatiss (Tycho Nestoris) confirmed that he won't be appearing at the Wall this season.



- Dorne


-- Jaime and Bronn will get into a skirmish with Dornish guards at a beach and they will get into a fight with the Sand Snakes.


-- According to Making Game of Thrones there will be at least one scene involving a scorpion and a scene of a dragon burning carcasses in a grassy area. The scene with the scorpion also involves Nymeria whipping a barrel to reveal someone buried up to his head in sand, with scorpions around him. Ellaria, Tyene and Obara watch on.


-- Ellaria will at some point be confronted by people with spears and will have a confrontation with Areo Hotah.



- Meereen:


-- Missandei will kiss a potentially wounded/dead Grey Worm.


-- Jorah will be fighting inside a fighting pit.


-- Masked people (potentially Sons of the Harpy) will appear marching through the streets and will later confront Dany, Missandei, Jorah, Daario and the Unsullied in Daznak's pit.


-- Rhaegal breaths fire at someone.


-- The statue of the Harpy will be torn down from the pyramid.



- Essos (other than Meereen and Braavos):


-- Tyrion will be having a conversation with Varys in which Varys will explain to him that he should help Dany take the Iron Throne.


-- Jorah will be sold to the slaver Yezzan by Malko. Tyrion, in an attempt to stay with Jorah, will amuse the crowd until Yezzan buys him as well.



- The Vale:


-- Littlefinger and Sansa will be travelling through the Vale. Littlefinger will tell her to take revenge. At some point, Sansa will be in a bathtub, looking troubled.



- somewhere in Westeros:


-- Brienne and Pod will be riding by an inn (which looks a lot like the Inn at the Crossroads).



Other potentially spoilery information:



- The Hollywood Reporter has announced that all actors' contracts have been renegotiated for pay raises and potential season 7 appearances. That does not mean however, that everyone will live to see season 7. The top-ranked actors are said to be Harington (Jon), Dinklage (Tyrion), Headey (Cersei), Clarke (Daenerys) and Coster-Waldau (Lannister), followed by 'mid-carder' Dormer (Margaery), Turner (Sansa) and Williams (Arya). This most likely means that these characters will get the bulk of season 5-7 material. No word on season 8.


- Supposedly, there is a big fight scene that was moved from Iceland to Northern Ireland. No confirmation yet on which factions are involved or whether it has been filmed yet.


- UNCONFIRMED: A user on reddit who very accurately and in detail predicted the scenes with the Night's Watch mutineers at Craster's Keep last year has posted that next season will include a scene in which White Walkers walk off a cliff only to be resurrected by the Night's King. This could potentially be Hardhome. However, there has been no official confirmation of any of this happening from people tied to the production of GoT, so take it with a grain of salt, please.


- Sophie Turner has stated in an interview that she filmed a traumatic scene that made everyone on set feel really uncomfortable, potentially hinting at the inclusion of Sansa's controversial TWOW chapter in season 5. Please take this with a grain of salt, as Sophie is not the most reliable narrator.


- according to Kit Harrington, he filmed a partial scene which took a month to shoot


- Episodes 4.09 and 4.10 will air together in select IMAX theaters across the US, followed by an exclusive trailer, starting on January 29th. This could potentially be the first real trailer to be released this year.


- new shots from the Sight teasers:


-- Arya and the Braavosi captain in a row boat in front of a stony cities - almost definitely Braavos


-- Cersei, peering out from behind a ornate grate


-- Jon looking up at someone with another black brother sitting in the background


- The trailer seems to confirm or at least give more credence to both the reddit poster's spoilers mentioned above and the script that was supposedly leaked on Facebook back in August of 2014. The following link contains major spoilers. Proceed at your own risk:

Frequently Asked Questions:



Q: Is the extended Greyjoy family in?


A: We don't know for sure. However, Entertainment Weekly, which usually gives reliable news, has announced that the Greyjoy storyline from book 4 and 5 will not feature as such.



Q: Are the Griffs in?


A: We don't know yet.



Q: Are the Manderly's in?


A: We don't know yet.



Q: Are Arianne and Quentyn in?


A: They have not been cast yet and since casting for Dorne seems to be finished otherwise, most likely not.



Q: Is Lady Stoneheart in?


A: As of yet, there is no hard evidence that she will be. Please note that the supposed casting link on IMDB is FAKE and will be removed soon.



Q: Will Bran & Co. be in?


A: David Benioff has confirmed that Bran & Co. will not be in season 5. This clashes with information from the CV of Leaf's actress, which states that she will be in episode 5.01. It is possible that scenes were shot in season 4 that have been moved to 5.01, but it is now official that no new material was shot for Bran.


Source: http://insidetv.ew.c...-bran-season-5/



Q: Will The Three-Eyed Raven be in?


A: Struan Rodgers has not been confirmed as returning, but Leaf has. For more information, please see "Will Bran & Co. be in?" above.



Q: Will Illyrio be in?


A: Roger Allam has not been confirmed as returning yet, but there have been boxes reading "Illyrio's manse" in front of Villa Sherezade. Also, one of the producers mentioned "Ellario's" in the recently released "A Day in the Life" featurette. This most likely refers to Illyrio's manse.



Q: Will Rickon and Osha be in?


A: No reliable information yet.



Q: Will there be spoilers from TWoW?


A: Most likely, as some characters have already gone through all their published material. Liam Cunningham (Davos) recently confirmed in an interview that some characters (possibly Davos and his surrounding characters Stannis, Melisandre and Co.) will be surpassing their book material.

Yeah, I think we truly needed it... though there are no much news these days !

With some luck, we'll get another trailer before the end of February !

I hope they don't show any Drogon in Daznak in the upcoming trailers. Last season they basically showed all of Drogon's bits in the trailer.

Thanks for opening the new thread. Hopefully, we'll all behave like good boys and girls. :p

I was a new trailer but I don't want to get too many spoiler, like last year but some would be very welcome.
