zaidi confirmation of Luke Roberts, Nathalie Emmanuel arrives in Peñíscola, new set photos! 

casting of Luke Roberts, and the filming of season 6 with new photos from Peñíscola and Saintfield.

First up, there’s new information regarding the casting that came up yesterday, that of English actor Luke Roberts. With the casting of Robert Aramayo, it brought back the month-old rumor of Roberts joining the cast, since the two had reportedly been seen practicing a fight for GoT together, along with Eddie Eyre.

A nice evening out in Teruel, Spain. Bumped into Tinkerbell! 💁

Agyeman was also tweeting with Robert Aramayo and Eddie Eyre yesterday, making it seem more and more likely that the actress is in Teruel with her boyfriend for filming and has met his co-stars.

(Editor’s note: We don’t believe Agyeman has a role on the show at this time though that would be amazing. -Sue the Fury)

In filming news, Nathalie Emmanuel has arrived in Spain. Earlier today, the 26-year old instagrammed a photo of the Peñíscola castle (please refer to Getty Images for comparison) with the hashtag #Ola. Emmanuel being in Peñíscola cements that the city is Meereen.

 has posted more photos from the set in Peñíscola as well. The Targaryen banners hanging from the ramparts in the first pic below also confirm speculation that Peñíscola is serving as Meereen.

Meanwhile, in Saintfield, Northern Ireland, despite security’s best efforts …

… Belfast Live managed to take some set photos of costumed extras, Bolton shields and, possibly, the smoke/fog machine that’s been tweeted about.

Update [ by Sue ]: New photos have just popped up, from a restaurant in Teruel, Spain.

Freema Agyeman, Luke Roberts, Eddie Eyre, and two other gentlemen in the first photo; the second photo shows Emilia Clarke, Michiel Huisman, Iain Glen, DB Weiss and David Benioff. It’s not clear if they’re posing with staff members, or what at this point. We’ll check this out further. Thanks Chantal for giving us the heads up on these!

I was so happy when I saw the photo of freema with D&D…I didn’t know she was just there as plus one…

I love how they’re incorporating the smoke monster from Lost <3

The photos you posted on reddit did confirm that Ian Glenn is in Spain, as he was in the picture with D&D and Emilia.

Apologies if someone has already posited this theory: with all the faux grain sacks and faux piles of grain, it occurs to me that D&D could use starvation as the impetus for the Meereen uprising. Perhaps just a refugees causing shortages situation, or perhaps a blight or spoilage situation that Tyrion will have to deal with. Anyone think this theory has any merit, or just more tin foil?

battle of meereen aswell as whats going on in the north. Talk about an epic season. I read somewhere GRRM saying TWOW will open pretty early with both of these battles so if we getting it in episode 9 they cant be spoiling too much of Book6 with TWOW climax saved for s7….

It’s just odd that they meet in Terouel while Natalie Emmanuel and Conleth Hill are already in Peñiscola. Geografically speaking is a bit weird

Probably because they are involved in the Dothraki part of Dany’s story and not in Meereen.

Many here if not most suggested there’s an inside uprising rather than an outside attack, so that part is not new. Out of those who go with that idea I’ve only seen the Sons of Harpy part 2 scenario, but yours could work actually better since it’s something new, rather than recycle a previous season story. It could very well be, Lady D.

Call me crazy, but I think the taller older gentleman in the picture with Luke Roberts and Eddie Eyre could be the actor for Gerold Hightower.

In this pic, we see an actor in the Targaryen KG armor standing off to the side:

He looks taller and older than Luke Roberts, as well as having lighter hair, so I doubt he is a stunt double.

No. TWOW will open with Stannis vs Boltons. We already saw that in S5.

GOT in Teruel? Holy crap, that’s my father’s hometown! Had I known this I would have gone there for a week or two.

I think this picture pretty much confirm:

Eyre as Ned ( his hair.., and i think they can use the face of sean bean on him like they did with lena last season)

Luke Roberts as Arthur Dayne ( he has the perfect size, face. He is Dayne)

Robert amayo as Howland reed ( he being with these two training fight and he looks so much like jojen…he is howland)

and i think they can use the face of sean bean on him like they did with lena last season)

I’d personally lean towards a siege of Mereen which would make the stockpiling of grain important and which could really challenge Tyrion’s (and maybe Vary’s?) administrative and governing skills if supplies run short and/or are somehow damaged or contaminated.

Then again, that just might be my personal preference masquerading a prediction.

Welp, Freema and Luke are the best looking couple in all of creation. That would be so great if she made her way onto the show. Would love to see a companion enter the GoT world.

Yay Iain Glen! Michiel’s got quite the Daario pimp hat going on there.

they didn’t shoot there, it was the nearest town to Castillo de Zafra

Really? Is it confirmed already or could someone actually see his face in that vid or pics? You’re not horsing around, are you?!

The looked quite perfect for that in that Achilles armor. But I suppose Luke is just as imposing when you put all that stuff on him and holds a sword (or two).

As much as I love Sean Bean, no, don’t use his face. He is just too old.

I know, but at least I could have met with the cast and ask them for an autograph.

Lena had a body double during her walk of shame…they CGI’d Lena’s face onto the body double’s naked body in Mother’s Mercy

Could be Eddie Eyre Ned Stark? Luke Roberts Dayne and Robert looks like Jojen. Mihnea was quite possibly right all along.

It’s just odd that they meet in Terouel while Natalie Emmanuel and Conleth Hill are already in Peñiscola. Geografically speaking is a bit weird

No it’s not, Peñiscola is the next filming destination..

Let’s play a game shall we… I know S6 is still a long way off, but based off early information, let’s try to guess episode names.

6×01 – Weirwood (I have no idea for this first ep) 6×02 – The Drowned God (Balon death & Euron/Aeron intro make for apt title)

6×03 – Vaes Dothrak (pretty self explanatory)

6×04 – Dawn (both for AD and Jon’s resurrection as a new dawn)

6×05 – Kingsmoot (I think it is most likely in this ep)

6×06 – Faith (multiple meanings including Sept confrontation)

6×07 – Cleganebowl (fan service, is probably my least likely)

6×08 – Broken Men (with that potential speech, shivers)

6×09 – A Time for Wolves (my personal favorite and perfect for what we know of this ep)

6×10 – Sharp Blades (Many deaths, also a play on Bolton words with their fall)

I’d love other thoughts and opinions, sound off below.

So Emilia, Michiel and Iain are filming in Peñíscola next, then?

6×07 – Cleganebowl (fan service, is probably my least likely)

Just “probably” your least likely? 😛

Is that like a trebuchet? With the Dragon banners
