This Game of Thrones character is definitely coming back

Bran Stark will return for the next season of Game of Thrones.

After an entire season stuck in a tree, Bran Stark is set to make his Game of Thrones return.

Bran was last seen at the end of season four of the hit HBO show entering the Weirwood tree beyond the wall to begin training his warg skills.

Similarly that is the last moment for Bran in the books, meaning that season six of the hit HBO series will veer away from from where George RR Martin left off.

Actor Isaac Hempstead Wright who plays Bran Stark confirmed he will be back on set for the new season.

"I can't say a lot, but I am back this season, and its going to get particularly interesting with Bran," Wright told the Irish Examiner.

"He has some interesting visions."

Game of Thrones showrunner, David Benioff has divulged a few details about how the show will move forwards with Bran's story.

Comparing his long absence to that of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, Benioff told Entertainment Weekly that fans will most likely see Bran after his training is complete.

"Like, it would be far less interesting, after The Empire Strikes Back to have an hour-long movie in between Empire and Return of the Jedi where Luke is training, Benioff said.

"Its so much cooler to cut from end of Empire to beginning of Return, where he's become the Jedi."

Wright says he hasn't had time to watch the latest season of Game of Thrones and had no word on whether Kit Harrington will return.
