For over five years, the Game of Thrones production team has filmed a great deal of scenes, lasting into months in Croatia. The Croatian city of Dubrovnik has often stood in for King’s Landing, so many assumed that it would return to film parts of Season 6. And after rumors circulated for weeks that Croatia was out this year for filming, HBO has released a statement on Thursday making it very clear, that the show won’t have a reduced presence in Croatia for Season 6; it won’t shoot there at all.

“We can confirm that based on story and location needs, Game of Thrones will not be shooting in Croatia for season 6. The question of whether the production will return to Croatia in the future will be decided once additional seasons are officially set by HBO. At that time, the production, along with HBO, will assess their location needs based on the scripts and storylines. HBO remains grateful to the HAVC and the Croatian crew for all of their continued support.”

As of now, the backdrop of Spain will be used for King’s Landing scenes. The city of Girona is reportedly going to be in play for those scenes.
