"Game of Thrones" drops major filming location for the next seasonAugust 25, 2015 - 13:09 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "Game of Thrones" is dropping a major filming location for the next season. HBO has confirmed in a statement that the show would not be shooting in Croatia, which has been used as a stand-in for King's Landing, since the second season, AceShowbiz reports. "We can confirm that based on story and location needs, 'Game of Thrones' will not be shooting in Croatia for season 6," the network says. "The question of whether the production will return to Croatia in the future will be decided once additional seasons are officially set by HBO. At that time, the production, along with HBO, will assess their location needs based on the scripts and storyline. HBO remains grateful to the HAVC and the Croatian crew for all of their continued support." Despite dropping Croatia as the filming location, it doesn't necessarily mean that the Westeros capital won't be featured in the sixth season. It, however, suggests that Cersei Lannister and King Tommen Baratheon might have a reduced role in the next installment. Meanwhile, words are the sixth season will focus on the North to follow the stories of the Stark children Sansa, Arya, Bran and Rickon. Bran was absent in the fifth season, while Rickon's whereabouts have not been addressed since season 3.
