MGoT: New on-set reporter for season two

Making Game of Thrones is back! And for this season we have a new on-set reporter. Bryan Cogman’s increased production responsibilities (not to mention his new baby) has led to him passing the mantle of official on-set blogger to Cat Taylor. Taylor is the assistant to producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, which means she should have some fun stories to share. Here is a snippet from her first post:

I’ll take you behind the scenes of the filming of Season 2, and while there are many secrets I have to keep and a lot of unexpected twists to come, there’s still a lot for us to talk about: One King is dead, but many rise. Cersei plots while Joffrey rules. The Hound is hunting. Jon is North of the Wall, Robb is at war and Arya is nowhere to be found. Littlefinger has a plan that no one yet comprehends. And let’s not even get started on Tyrion …

The shooting has begun with so many people in different locations that we’ve assembled two crews to get the job done (and given them the requisite codenames “Wolf” and “Dragon”). In the last few weeks a charter flight left with the Wolf crew, costumes and props packed to the wing tips en route to sunnier shores. Finding a commercial flight to Westeros is harder than you’d guess! The offices here were weirdly quiet as the Dragon unit got ready for three weeks of night shoots and everyone waited to see what would happen at the Emmys …

Not only did we get our first on-set blog post, but HBO published the first official behind the scenes photo from filming season two!

Winter Is Coming: So excited that we will be getting production updates once again from MGoT! Looking forward to hearing more anecdotes from set. And, of course, to some more production photos!
