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

Not only has Benioff promised this season will be the best one yet, but the showrunner claimed season six will not spoil the books for fans: "So much of what we're doing diverges from the books at this point," he told EW. "And while there are certain key elements that will be the same, we're not going to talk so much about that — and I don't think George is either. People are going to be very surprised when they read the books after the show. They're quite divergent in so many respects for the remainder of the show."
