Plus, author George R.R. Martin recently revealed some hints about the fourth season:

"We have a big battle that the wonderful Neil Marshall that did the Battle of Blackwater back to direct, that's very exciting for me," Martin said. "We have another Royal Wedding, this one is not red; this one is a different color. We have the introduction of some great new characters. We finally introduce one of the most popular characters from the books: Prince Oberon Martell. The Red Viper of Dorne will be introduced for the first time and there will be some other new characters that I think the fans will like. The Wildlings are continuing to move toward the wall. We'll see many of the characters, we'll see what happens to Tyrion and Cersei and Jaime and all of the remaining Starks, the few that are left and hopefully it will be another great season."

In other "Game of Thrones" news, actress Nathalie Emmanuel, who plays Missandei on the HBO series, has recently come out defending the show's notoriously graphic sex scenes.

"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and if it's too much for you then that's fine," the actress said. "But in the books it's very raw and real and that's why a lot of people love the show. It's not afraid to push the boundaries and make you feel shocked or angry.

"Sex is what we do as humans. It's not anything alien, it's just real. Especially at the time when the show is set - you would have had whores, it was kind of the done thing," she added. "The sex scenes make it realistic and authentic, it's something the show does really well."

Also, season four might include some more revealing looks at her character Missandei.

"It depends on the scene but I'm not ashamed of my body," Emmanuel said. "It's very normal, I'm playing a character. Sometimes you're naked in your everyday life. For me it's not a big deal."
