As Game of Thrones Season 4 comes to a close, fans are already wondering about the release date for the next exciting installment. Already, rumors have been spreading that the next season will premiere on the first Sunday of April, which is April 5, 2015.

Fans are disappointed that they will have to wait an entire year before they can continue witnessing the journey of their favorite character and their quests in the world of Westeros. For this reason, Game of Thrones producers hope to have an amazing and well formulated set of episodes.

Writers for the show have provided some insight on what to expect.

"The writers of the show confirmed that we will be seeing Dorne in the next season, and members of Oberyn Martell's family. Several casting notices and auditions have already leaked online, revealing characters such as Obara, Oberyn's eldest daughter, and her sister Tyene," according to celebritylaundry.com.

Of course, the show will still be based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. Although rumors state that there will be some diversions from the book in the new season, "We have to make a show that succeeds on its own terms, and sometimes that means veering away from the books. Some people will be upset by that. Some people will like it," Game of Thrones Producer David Beniofftold told The Hollywood Reporter.

So far, any changes made to the show's story from the original set of books has been met with great success, "While most of these gaps from the page to the screen are small and detail-oriented, it is nonetheless the case that the most subtle discrepancies often hold the biggest insight into the adaptation process, into the demands of filmmaking, and into the rigors of the literary narrative," winteriscoming.net stated.

Game of Thrones Season 4 ended with the escape of Tyrion Lannister (who was sentenced to death) and his unexpected murder of his father Tywin Lannister.
