HBO released seven new photos from “High Sparrow”
The next episode of Game of Thrones fifth season, “High Sparrow,” is fast approaching. HBO already put up a trailer for it, and now it’s released a handful of new images. Here’s the official synopsis for the episode: “In King’s Landing, Queen Margaery (Natalie Dormer) enjoys her new husband. Tyrion and Varys walk the Long Bridge of Volantis.”
As expected, the show continues to compress Tyrion’s story down to the bare essentials, which is a welcome development. Meanwhile, it sounds like Margaery and Tommen will tie their knot, something that still hasn’t happened in the books. That’s likely a side effect of aging Tommen up a bit.
Margaery and Tommen, enjoying each other.
Margaery smiles pleasantly, possibly at Cersei…
…who’s probably not having it.
Qyburn sits in his lab, writing something. Knowing this guy, it’s probably best not to ask what.
Sansa and Littlefinger ride over plains against a beautiful, mountainous backdrop. Have they arrived wherever it was they were going in the first two episodes?
It’s Roose and Ramsay Bolton, making their first appearance this season. Bunch of jags.
Finally, an image of some knights standing on the steps outside the Sept of Baelor.
“High Sparrow” was written by David Benioff & D. B. Weiss, who also wrote the first two episodes of this season. It’ll be directed by Mark Mylod, who’s relieving Michael Slovis, which directed both “The Wars to Come” and “The House of Black and White.”
