The actress also teased what fans can look forward to inGame of ThronesSeason 6, including a wealth “record-breaking” action sequences:
This time we’re not on the books, so that’s huge, and they didn’t hold any prisoners. This season, I truly believe it’s the biggest thing that will have ever happened to anyone’s individual TV set or laptop, or however you watch it. They’re just going to blow up with all the stuff that’s happening. Everybody has the biggest action piece thus far – record-breaking action pieces!
