GAME OF THRONES Season 6 Casting Call Hints At 'Euron Greyjoy''s Debut & More

As we prepare ourselves for the sure-to-be exciting final 3 episodes of Game Of Thrones season 5, a casting breakdown for season 6 has found its way online. No characters are actually named, but fans of the books will likely recognize the descriptions. SPOILERS ahead...

What is dead may never die! Those disappointed that we didn't get to see Theon Greyjoy's miserable extended family fight for the title of Lord of the Iron Islands this year on Game Of Thrones might be in luck, as Watchers on the Wall has details from a season 6 casting call which seems to suggest that at least one of his uncles will be making an appearance.

"Pirate, man in his 40’s to late 50’s. He’s “an infamous pirate who has terrorized seas all around the world. Cunning, ruthless, with a touch of madness.” He’s a dangerous-looking man. A very good part this season."


That certainly sounds like Balon Greyjoy's brother Euron, aka "the Crow's Eye" - and if he's debuting there's a good chance his brothers Aeron and Victarion will be too. The next breakdowns aren't quite as obvious, but based on the descriptions it's believed that they refer to Sam's father Randyll Tarly, brother Dickon, and his mother and sister.

"Father. Aged 50’s to 60’s, he’s one of the greatest soldiers in Westeros- a humorless martinet, severe and intimidating. He demands martial discipline in the field and in his home. It’s described as “a very good part” for next year and that he’s “centrally involved” in a protagonist’s storyline.

 Mother, in her 50’s. She’s a sweet, plump, and adoring mother, and has a soft spot for one of her children who benefits from her decency.

Sister, in her early 20s. She’s a kind, friendly and unpretentious woman.

Brother, in his early to mid-20’s . Athletic, a good hunter, an excellent swordsman, manly, not particularly bright but the favourite child of the father."


Surely not his father's favourite with a name like Dickon! Anyway, now things get really interesting. The final major breakdowns call for three boys aged 7, 8 and 12; and speculation points to them being the younger versions of Ned Stark, Robert Baratheon, and Brandon Stark. You can read the descriptions for yourselves at the link below, and it definitely seems like a distinct possibility. Since none of those characters are alive, though, what could prompt the flashback? Another one of Bran's visions perhaps? Let us know what you think in the usual place.

It's crazy that his season is almost over and there already getting ready for the next one. It feels like this season just started and yet it's ending soon.

Thanks for spoiling in the title, and then adding spoilers to the title. Makes a lot of sense.

@four20smoke He wasn't named, but he's the guy who baptizes Theon when he comes back to the Iron Islands.

This season was cool, I really want the white walkers to come already. No Lady Stoneheart. Selmy's dead (wtf?). Where is Howland Reed? He needs to show up and answer some questions ASAP.

I'd rather see a season 6 with the Greyjoy storyline that I really don't care about, because it'll give me time to hope TWOW will be finished.

Just read a crazy theory online that the high sparrow is actually Howland Reed. The amount of crazy theories the books produce is awesome. Love reading those.

@dethpillow

T_T For realsies bro?

Yeah, the show is basically beating us over the head with his Targ bloodline. Melisandre says his blood can make shadows (need a kings blood for that), Stannis says Ned wouldn't cheat, Little Finger hints to Sansa that Lyanna and Rhaegar were in love.

I just hope he doesn't die. He totally could, that show hates righteous people.

"not shit like George Martin. he sucks. competently.
i love Game of Thrones. love the books too, but it's just sucky stuff.
show is way better."

You're [frick]ing stupid in my mind. In fact anyone who insists the show is better (not that they simply enjoy it more, that it is better written) paint a target on themselves and they deserve it.

For [frick] sake GRRM may not be Dostoevsky in charaterisation but he damn near approaches that level with many of his characters. Though frankly who the [frick] does approach Dostoevsky's level?

It's sad seeing ASoIaF scoffed and spit on by idiots as if it is rubbish comparable to Harry Potter. Guess it makes them feel smart because ASoIaF hasn't been recognised by the intellectual cultural elite for literature, yet.

"George Martin on the other hand, eats dicks and says they are hot dogs.
guy's writing sucks."

Why? Given your comments so far I am no expecting an in depth, clever opinion as to why you have such a vitrolic hatred of GRRM.

"not saying the guy himself sucks, but it's bad writing, just like pretty much all fantasy."

Aaaaah, there it is. Spitting on fantasy as if it cannot be anything greater, because it is of that genre. Height of ignorance too many who have always found themselves enarmored with other excellent writers make. ASoIaF explores war far more than its fantasy aspects in the first five books, for example. Though of course if it is a fantasy, that gives you grounds to immediately spit on it.

Oh boy, I'd (not so) secretly hoped we could do without the Iron Islands. So far all they did with them in the show was making Asha/Yara (one of my least disliked Greyjoys) a complete joke and ignoring that damn third leech for almost two seasons.

And tbh I feel the Greyjoy parts in the books already did little except for hurting the overall flow of the story. Maybe when the next book is out I will read it and say "yeah, that was totally worth it!", but so far - [frick] the Iron Islands!

Well, at least it would hopefully mean we'd get Aeron. That guy rocks! <3

According to the HBO family tree, Euron is the only brother Balon has in the TV world. Doesn't look good for Victarion.

pyramosteu, a character being added to a show isn't a spoiler, the spoilers are the stuff I give away about the book and probably what's to come on the show in the article.

LOL, dethpillow hooked a juicy trout on his troll line.

But gods below, the Iron Islands crap was some of the most BORING parts of the books.

And I think that the showmakers could have slowed down a bit and taken more time to tell the story from the source material properly. I have several issues to the characterization and storyline changes.

But, all in all, I have enjoyed the show, but certainly not as much as the books.

And George Martin has done his fans a dissaervice by taking all these huge breaks in the release of his stories.

Problem is that they have already mentioned the Greyjoy brothers
"I still remember watching my father's fleet burn in Lannisport.
I believe your uncles were responsible."
