Pedro Pascal and Lena Headey in 'Game of Thrones' WinterIsComing.net posted details from a casting notice for the next season of Game of Thrones and, though unconfirmed, it has stirred up a lot of speculation, including the introduction of fan favorites the Sand Snakes.
with its seventh season, due to air in 2017. The show's fourth season starts airing in a few weeks, meaning that the show has three seasons to run afterwards. Last week’s ‘ Game of Thrones ‘ finale, “ The Children ,” sent many fans into an uproar for the surprising omission of one of the series’ most shocking moments, the resurrection of a previously deceased character. Many still hold out hope said character might appear in season 5, but what does departed series star Michelle Fairley have to say that turns our hearts to stone? It has been over a week since Season 4 wrapped up, but the fantasy drama is still much talked about, especially with recapping the Season 4 finale's plot, and opening possibilities for the future.
While Jon's love life is up in the air for Season Five, it's possible that he'll at least know the truth about who his parents are, adds the International Business Times.

While the life of an actor may seem glamorous, those who were involved in Icelandic scenes had to brave severely cold conditions. The scene where Jon Snow fights Qhorin Halfhand near the end of Season 2 took place on a cliff with a 1,500-foot drop, the snow so deep the actors kept sinking into it during an exhausting two-day shoot. It’s also interesting to note that it appears the show will only be casting three of Prince Oberyn Martell’s eight daughters (as established per the show) — which would make a bit of sense since Thrones already has so many wonderful, colorful characters to keep track of. The show is also casting (and those who've read the books will know the name) for the "Sand Snakes" - i.e. Oberyn's bastard daughters.
