WiC Weekly: November 13-18

It’s time for another weird, wild week of in the world of Game of Thrones. What happened over the past seven days? Well, we’ll tell you…

First, the show has recast a role first introduced in Season 6.

Filming was ongoing in several places this week. Two important cast members were spotted on the walls of Trujillo Castle.

The show also prepared to shoot at el Barrueco de Arriba, where it’s going to be filming material for weeks.

Here’s one more huge set of SPOILERS for you before we move on.

The other big news from this past week was the release of the Game of Thrones Season 6 home box set! Read our full review.

But read about the extras on the box set when you can watch them? Many of the History and Lore animated short videos have made their way online.

HBO gives us an update as to the status of that Game of Thrones prequel series that may or may not be coming at some unspecified point in the future. Just pull the trigger, people!

So Hannah Waddingham (Septa Unella) and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (Gregor “the Mountain” Clegane) starred in a sparkling water commercial together…as their Game of Thrones characters. It’s as weird as it sounds.

In money news, the actors on Game of Thrones are making a lot of money. Tell your friends.

Finally, we take a deep dive into a massive Season 7 story leak on this week’s episode of Take the Black, our Game of Thrones podcast.
