A video, released Thursday by HBO, features many of the series’ cast offering an in-depth preview of what life in Westeros will look like when Season 2 premieres on Sunday, June 16 (9/8c).
“There’s more of a sense of the world, more of a sense of the kingdoms,” Olivia Cooke says as we see behind-the-scenes footage. “I noticed rapid expansion of the physical set,” Emma D’Arcy observes.
Plus, there are “loads more dragons,” adds Tom Glynn-Carney.
