‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 6: Deleted Scene Shows Lady Olenna Attempted Rescue
As fan-favorite character, Lady Olenna Tyrell, otherwise known as the Queen of Thorns, was known to possess unconditional love and affection towards her grandchildren. And that affection was manifested in a just released deleted footage from "Game of Thrones" sixth season.
New material from the show's sixth season continues to emerged despite that the season ended for month. Deleted scenes are revelead ahead of the season's release on DVD and Blu-ray.
In a deleted scene, Lady Olenna (played by Diana Rigg) can be seen chastising her son Mace Tyrell (Roger Ashton-Griffiths) for feeding into the larger plan that Cersei Lannister had (in her eyes) so obviously laid out. Originally filmed to appear in the second episode of season 6, the scene was cut to save on time but will be available for fans to view alongside others soon, as recapped by Screen Rant.
Having a stern word with Mace about the workings of the Lannister family, how Cersei Lannister thinks and what the Tyrell family will have to do moving forward to get both Loras and Margaery out of their prison cells, Lady Olenna gears up for battle against the matriarch of the Lannister clan. Of course, we all know now that Margaery and Loras were out of their prison cells and ready to make their next moves to survive at the end of season 6, but a dastardly plan by Cersei saw the Sept in which they were residing blown up by Wildfire which had been stored underneath it for years.
The clip arrives with filming for the show's seventh season. The sixth season, which won the Emmy for outstanding drama series, is out on DVD and Blu-ray on Nov. 15. The release includes four deleted scenes, an in-depth look at the making of the Battle of the Bastards, and a ton of other extras and audio commentaries. The series has been the top-selling TV series on home video for the past five years.
The show's penultimate seventh season is currently in production and will premiere on HBO summer 2017 due to the need for colder weather conditions now that winter has (finally) arrived on the show, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.
