"Maybe I'm being overly optimistic about how quickly I can finish, but I cancelled two convention appearances (San Diego Comic Con and World Convention), I'm turning down a lot more interviews - anything I can do to clear my decks and get this done," he told Entertainment Weekly.
Currently "Game of Thrones" Season 6 is currently being shot in Spain. The new season will premiere in Spring 2016.
