Actress Emilia Clarke has revealed that the sixth season of fantasy series Game of Thrones will be “mental”.
The 28-year-old actress, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on the show, is promising that season five’s incredible White Walker battle and the Night’s Watch betrayal won’t hold a candle to the action next year – reported Variety.
I’m looking forward to absolutely every part of it, it’s like go-go-go from episode one. You know how sometimes it’s like, we’re just going to remind you and warm you up; remember this and remember that and I bet you forgot his name – sort of thing?
– Emilia Clarke
“This season it’s literally like, ‘Oh yeah, no chance to catch up, here you go, we’re just gonna hit you with it every episode, with something more mental than the last’.” Clarke also compared her excitement for season six of Game of Thrones to “a kid having a sugar high”.
I can’t handle how sick these scripts are. We actually got the next load in as well and they’re really good. You know that showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss are really happy with a script when in the stage directions they just add their own commentary like ‘Yeah, right, bitches, sixth season!’ There’s a lot of that.
– Emilia Clarke
Clarke and her co-stars Lena Headey and Peter Dinklage are fresh off Emmy Award nominations for their performances in season five.
