In this production video for season two of Game of Thrones, series creator/writer/executive producer David Benioff says, “One of the great challenges with the second season is the world just expanded enormously. And not only do we introduce a great number of new characters, but we’re journeying to all new locations.” Benioff goes on to say they’re really gratified that audiences were able to follow all of the storylines in season one and that viewers became so invested in each of the characters.
“This is a fantasy series, but that’s not the key to the show. The key is the people,” states Benioff who succinctly sums up with that statement why viewers (and readers of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire books) are so addicted to the series.
The production video, which features footage from the 2012 season debuting in April, does in fact show off a few new characters as well as let us have a look at the returning characters including Jon Snow (my personal favorite character from Martin’s books), Joffrey Baratheon, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister, and Arya Stark.
