Game of Thrones season 6 writer reveals what to expect in show's 'biggest action sequence yet'

The battle will see 'hundreds of human soldiers on one side of a field, another army on the other side'

Looking back over the last five seasons of Game of Thrones and you’ll notice there have been some pretty huge battle sequences.

Game of Thrones season 6: Everything we know so far

Notably, in the fourth season, one episode that took place entirely at the Wall entitled “Watchers on the Wall” - the one where *she* gets killed by Olly - was the show’s most expensive so far.

However, the upcoming season six looks set to top even that bombastic, Giant-filled event. According to writer-producer Bryan Cogman, the show’s biggest action sequence yet is just around the corner.

“It’s definitely the biggest [action sequence yet],” Cogman told EW. “We’ve always wanted to get to a place – story-wise and budget-wise and time-wise and resource-wise – where we would be able to do a proper battle, with one army on one side, one army on another side.”

According to the report, the battle will see “Hundreds of human soldiers on one side of a field, another army on the other side, and then there is a clash that is highly tactical, yet character-driven, and shown from start to finish”.

Who could an army of humans be fighting? Likely, they'll be facing off against the White Walker army we saw at the end of season five.

In other Game of Thrones news, the showrunners have said the upcoming season will be “the best one yet”, while Liam Cunningham revealed more information about that “mic drop” moment from the trailer.
