HBO’s released details on Game of Thrones season six episodes six and seven set to air May 29 and June 5, 2016. Four episodes in and season six ranks as one of the best seasons of the critically acclaimed series, with twist after twist that for the first time in the series’ history book readers didn’t see coming. Season six is the first season of the series that doesn’t have a George R.R. Martin book as the source material, leveling the playing field for fans of the series and those who were into the A Song of Ice and Fire books before the HBO series arrived.
HBO and executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have been very cagey with their plot descriptions, and even after Jon Snow’s resurrection he’s been missing from the synopses released promoting upcoming episodes. That holds true with the May 29th and June 5th descriptions, although there is the cryptic line, “The North is reminded.”
