"So, be prepared for an extended- but not too extended- look at season five probably featuring some new footage, cast interviews, and some other general fluff to whet your appetite just enough to hold you over until the premiere."

Other characters like Arya and Sansa are expected to begin a new journey, while Tyrion will need to escape after murdering his father, Tywin Lannister.
