GAME OF THRONES Leading Ladies Get EW Covers For Season 6
The sixth season of Game of Thrones premieres on HBO one month from tonight, so the publicity machine has been churning out new information about the show like crazy over the past few days. Entertainment Weekly has released its newest magazine cover — complete with variant editions — and they feature the badass women of the series.
“The women are rocking this season — and I’m not just saying that because they’re on your cover,” says HBO programming president Michael Lombardo. “Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) always does, but also Brienne (Gwendoline Christie), Arya (Maisie Williams), Sansa (Sophie Turner), Cersei (Lena Headey), Margaery (Natalie Dormer), and other characters too, like Yara (Gemma Whelan). They power this season. It’s organic to the storytelling, yet a radical shift. It’s the women that are the hope that we’re watching as the chess pieces move this season, and it’s very exciting.”
I will be very surprised if all of these characters make it through season six alive. Game of Thrones returns on April 24th.
