George RR Martin has dropped a bombshell on Game of Thrones fans ahead of the season five premiere, warning them to “be on their toes” and expect some big shocks, reported The Independent.
The US author has hinted that people will be surprised by the TV storyline, with not one, not two, but four characters set to meet their makers.
“People are going to die who don’t die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy,” he said at the Writers Guild West Awards on Saturday.
Martin revealed on Conan last year that Daenerys’ handmaiden Irri, Walder Frey’s wife Joyeuse Erenford and Qarth merchant Xaro Xhoan Daxos were among those heading for the chop, but really, anything could happen.
Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, has already told fans to expect a “traumatic” season five.
“There’s some massive moments, perhaps even more shocking than the Red Wedding type of thing,” she told The Huffington Post.
The Red Wedding from season three is widely considered to be the most brutal moment of Game of Thrones to date.
Game of Thrones returns to HBO on Sunday 12 April before airing in the UK the following night on Sky Atlantic.
