And filming for Season 6 rolls on. New reports from Irish Thrones, the ever-vigilant source of Game of Thrones filming news out of Ireland, suggest that the production has returned to the Northern Irish village Saintfield, which was used to film scenes in Robb Stark’s camp for Season 1.

Except for Titanic studios, we noticed the Saintfield shooting location to be extensive for the show, on the villages Belfast Road.

What will they shoot in Saintfield this time? It’s anybody’s guess, but apparently they’ll be there for a while. Also, yet more actors are announcing their return to filming locations, including Daniel “Podrick Payne” Portman.

It would seem that he got there okay, if this next tweet is any indication:

Can’t go wrong with that Pizza Jazz pizza. They’re now open for breakfast, according to their website—that sounds delicious and unhealthy.

Meanwhile, a fan spotted none other than Owen “Alliser Thorne” Teale walking along Botanic Avenue in Belfast. It would appear that Teale’s promise to return for Season 6 was not made falsely.

And finally, there was yet another Kit Harington sighting. This time he was out on the town with Iwan Rheon and Ben Crompton, the actors behind Ramsay Bolton and Dolorous Edd respectively. You’ve kinda got to squint to see Harington in this picture, but he’s dead center, and appears to have all his hair intact. Conspiracy, hair watch, etc., etc…

You’ve gotta love that there’s an advertisement for ‘Kraken’ spiced rum on the ceiling. Greyjoy shoutout? More out of Northern Ireland as it comes in.
