Game Of Thrones' Liam Cunningham Says Season 6 Resets The Chess Board

Last seasonhad some of the main characters sharing the screen for the first time, and according to Liam Cunningham, the actor who plays the straight-shooting Davos, we can expect more of the same in Season 6 of Game of Thrones.

"This season's cool because it resets the chess board and people get partnered with new people," Cunningham told Entertainment Weekly. "Last year it was 'worlds colliding.' This year, it's almost like you're in a different drama series. There are new plans – and they're enormous plans. There are new loyalties. There are new tensions. There are tensions between people where there were not tensions before. The words on the page are as delicious as what we've had in the past. And it's culminating in some of the most remarkable television that's ever been made. It's astonishing."

As for Davos, fans were upset that he left Stannis Baratheon's daughter, Shireen, unprotected. However, Davos doesn't know that Shireen was burned at the stake as a sacrifice to The Lord of Light. Will he find out this season what Melisandre did to the young princess?

"There's now a big expectation about him finding out," he teased. "I think Davos absolutely needs to find out what happened."

Season 6 premiere of Game of Thrones, which is titled "The Red Woman," will air Sunday, April 24 on HBO. Jon Snow is dead. Daenerys meets a strong man. Cersei sees her daughter again.
