Brace yourselves, it looks like season six of Game of Thrones is going to be crazy, according to Emilia Clarke.
Clarke, who portrays Daenerys Targaryen on the HBO drama series, recently spoke to the Los Angeles Times about the Emmy nominations the show received this week and teased the upcoming season.
“Oooooh there’s so much in store for [Daenerys],” she said. “I’m saying that obviously because I’ve read the script for next season. Muwah ha ha! I know stories. It’s really exciting.”
For the fifth season, many fans felt that the season started off slow, but Clarke insists that the sixth season isn’t like that.
“Next season, I’ve said this before, but there’s a lot of season where you need to (rightly so) kind of need to set the scene. And you have a couple of episodes where you’re like, ‘OK, feeding information, I get it. We’re finding out about this person. And we know about that person. And oh, there’s that person.’ But this season coming up, that we’re about to film, there’s none of that. It’s just go, go, go, go. Shocking moment to shocking moment. Epic moment to epic moment. It’s mental; it’s epic. And definitely Dany’s a part of it.”
Clarke, who is nominated for the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama, also discussed how she heard the news.
“I was at the doctor’s waiting to go in. It was a very embarrassing moment,” Clarke stated. “There’s a lovely British girl waiting in the doctor’s office, and you’ve got the best news ever, and you’re very excited and a bit loud on the phone. All you want to do is just scream and shout, and you have all these people glaring at you thinking, ‘What is that woman on?’ So, yeah, I had to try and contain my excitement for that moment. But it was pretty brilliant nonetheless.”
Season six of Game of Thrones will premiere on HBO in 2016.
