'Game of Thrones' Season 5 Cast News: Kit Harington Says Season is 'Definitely Bigger'

Kit Harington, who is popularly known as Jon Snow in the hit TV series "Game of Thrones," is currently doing his rounds to promote his movie "Testament of Youth." During an interview it couldn't be helped that the 28-year-old English actor will be asked about what's in store for the fifth season of the fantasy drama.

"The thing I noticed this year is that they threw so much money at it, the set pieces were so huge, and I think it's going to be a pretty special season…There's one scene for me which took a month to film. It wasn't even the whole thing, it was one section," Harington told The Telegraph.

"On scale, it's definitely bigger. I don't think we can get more gruesome or naked, but I mean, on scale it's definitely bigger," the actor continued.

Other than Ned's (Sean Bean) bastard son, recent cast news also pointed out to a younger Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) which will also appear in the upcoming chapter of the show.

According to Times.com, GOT producers confirmed last October that the forthcoming season would veer away from its "longstanding no-flashbacks rule" and that it will now feature a younger version of the incestuous monarch to be played by Nell Williams.

The flashback will involve Cersei and her friend visiting an older woman named Maggy the Frog.

Williams is currently appearing in television series "The Revolting World of Stanley Brown" by Aisling Walsh and David Sant as well as on the television movie "Loving Miss Hatto."
