The Game of Thrones cast hit Hollywood on Sunday evening for the Season 6 red carpet premiere at the TCL Chinese Theater. The actors offered up some comments to whet appetites for the premiere on April 24. Here are the key ideas to keep in mind:

1. New Beginnings

Several actors noted that Season 6 marked a fresh start for their characters. “I was actually a bit lost in the beginning,” said Lena Headey who plays Cersei Lannister. “Cersei’s usually running things and now she’s so broken down.” Expect Davos Seaworth to be equally unsettled. “His entire reason for being on the show was Stannis,” noted actor Liam Cunningham. “Now that’s gone… Davos is in the same situation as Melisandre now, even though they hate each other.”

2. Vengeance

One common theme among cast responses was the promise of revenge. “There will be a lot of retribution,” said Michael McElhatton who plays Roose Bolton. DeObia Oparei, the actor behind Aero Hotah, promised the action wouldn't be limited to the North: “It’s going down in Dorne in Season 6,” Oparei said. “There’s gonna be blood.”

3. Budding Relationships

Daniel Portman hinted that “the relationship between Pod and Brienne has developed further. Brienne doesn’t want him to go away as much.” Portman explained that their relationship will continue to evolve in Season 6.

Another flourishing couple? Jorah and Daario. “Jorah and Daario are off to trying and find Dany, which is really fun,” Michiel Huisman revealed. “There’s clearly a dynamic between the two,” he said with a smile, adding, “Iain Glenn is an amazing actor.”
