Game of Thrones: Everything the Cast Has Said About Season 6

It's time for Brienne to shine! "I got the scripts for season 6 and I thought the story was so fantastic," Christie told EW, discussing her character. "It's really exciting to see Brienne burst forth again."

She also teased that Brienne will be interacting with some characters she hasn't previously met yet. "So many characters for so long had their isolated storylines and as a fan of this show as well, I've been wanting and dreaming — 'I wonder what it would be like to see this person interact with this other person?' And that's what starts to unfold."
