With the wait for the premiere of "Game of Thrones" Season 6 has finally hit home stretch as the series is beginning very soon on April 24, HBO has come out with the episode title and official description for the season six premiere.
According to the official synopsis obtained by Hollywood Reporter, "Game of Thrones" Season 6 episode 1 will be titled "Red Woman." The episode description reads: "Jon Snow is dead. Daenerys meets a strong man. Cersei sees her daughter again."
The network has also released the summary for the upcoming season, wherein it is mentioned that survivors from all parts of Westeros and Essos regroup to press and proceed towards their "uncertain individual fate." The official synopsis has also hinted that several new characters will emerge in the upcoming season who will challenge those currently in power.
Although HBO once again emphasized that the Snow is actually dead, the episode's title has further fuelled the rumor that the might warrior will be reincarnated in the upcoming later episodes. "The Red Woman" is a sure reference at Melisandre, who is a sorceress with miraculous power and is currently holed up at Castle Black along with the warrior's dead body.
Meanwhile, Ser Davos Seaworth himself, Liam Cunningham, has billed "Game of Thrones" Season 6 as "astonishing" by saying that the next batch of episodes will reset the chess board.
"There are new plans - and they're enormous plans," Cunningham told Entertainment Weekly. "There are new loyalties. There are new tensions."
Ser Davos is one the major characters of the Emmy-winning series. Fans of the show were left devastated when he left Stannis Baratheon's daughter, Shireen, unprotected. However, it turns out that he does not know that Shireen was burned at the stake as a sacrifice to The Lord of Light.
The actor also reiterated that although Davos and Melisandre may find themselves in the similar situation now that Stannis is gone, their partnership will remain unstable and will not last long as he will soon find out what Melisandre did to the young princess. Several fan theories have also emerged claiming that Davos will not survive this season.
