'Game of Thrones' season 7 air date, plot news 2016: Sophie Turner teases character deaths

The cast members of HBO's "Game of Thrones" have received their scripts for the seventh season of the show. Stars such as Sohpie Turner and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau have spoken out about the forthcoming season. Although they spared the important details, the cast members hinted at many character deaths.

The TV adaptation of George R.R. Martin's novels broke Emmy records at the 67th Annual Emmy Awards. The show won 12 Emmys this year alone. One of the awards was for outstanding drama series. The TV series surpassed the record of "The West Wing" by winning nine awards in a single year.

The cast looked stunning at the red carpet event but during the interviews, they expressed that it was a bittersweet moment for all of them.

In an interview at the event, Turner who portrays Sansa Stark in the show said, "It's quite sad. It really feels like things are wrapping up and coming to an end." The actress also admitted that the cast has been hanging around in Belfast for a little longer to spend more time with each other.

More importantly, the actress revealed, "We've got one more season. Well, not all of us."

When asked about her Sansa's development in the forthcoming season, Turner admitted, "You don't really know what's going on with her this season," she said. "We're trying to figure out where her loyalties lie and you're wondering if she is going to pull through and be a true Stark or not," she added.

In the preceding season, Sansa was reunited with her brother Jon Snow (Kit Harington). Jon faced Ramsay Bolton's (Iwan Rheon) forces and was nearly about to die until the Knights of the Vale came to their aid thanks to Sansa. She asked Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen) for help, but kept it a secret from her brother.

Furthermore, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who portrays Jaime Lannister, revealed that characters who met each other in the first season will be reuniting in the upcoming chapter. 

The seventh season of "Game of Thrones" is expected to launch in the summer of 2017 on HBO.
