'Game of Thrones' season 6 spoilers: Lady Stoneheart and Jon Snow to make appearances?
While the sixth installment is still a year away, "Game of Thrones" has given out some leaks on major twists and turns that fans are said to unveil in a promised "more fast-paced" season 6.
Premiere episode director Jeremy Podeswa told Yahoo! TV that while expectations are always high when a season begins, "What's great about this season is that there's very little expository stuff. It starts off with a bang and you're right into the excitement of the story."
It is worth noting that Podeswa was the director of season 5's Emmy nominated episode "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken," that saw the controversial and striking rape scene of Sansa Stark. The director is set to kick off season 6's first two episodes.
