The Iron Born feel like a bit of a sleeping giant in Thrones, with their main plot line coming from the foolish escapades of Theon Greyjoy. They weren't introduced at all during Season 5, though their role in the books far extends the impact they've made in the show. It's hard to imagine the Greyjoy story in Thrones is over simply because Theon has been warped into Reek, so maybe there could be an appearance in Season 6. However, long before the start of the show, Ned Stark led his men to the Iron Islands to quell their rebellion. That in itself would be a great story to tell, and would offer Sean Bean a way back into the show. With it being a prequel, Bean could finally add a film to his resume where he doesn't actually die...
