12 New Characters Set To Appear In Game Of Thrones Season 6

Game of Thrones is fast approaching the end if its fifth season, which means naturally one eye turns to the next one, even if it is still 10 months away. While in just a couple of weeks we should have a good idea of who€™ll live to see season 6, the rest of the time is likely to be filled with rampant speculation about who else could be appearing. We€™re a bit closer to knowing that now, thanks to a leaked casting call over on the Game of Thrones online community Watchers on the Wall. The casting call includes details of a range of new characters the show will be looking to add next year, giving us some major clues as to which characters and plot threads we can expect to see. The roles on offer include: a pirate; a father, and his family; a priest; a leading actress; a priestess; a fierce warrior; a large boy; a 12-year-old boy; and a 7-year-old boy. The descriptions accompanying some of them, combined with what we know from the books and clues the show has given us, leave it fairly clear who the character will be, while some are rather more ambiguous.
