Producers for Game of Thrones are looking for locations to film their fifth season.
There are only a few more episodes left for seasons 4 of Game of Thrones and producers are currently working on finding additional filming locations for the fifth season.
According to OLV, the Game of Thrones currently looking for locations in Spain and in the Andalusia region located in the south Iberian peninsula.
Filming locations for the show have included Northern Ireland where most of the filming takes place. Game of Thrones Season 5 also filmed at Titanic Studios in Blefast, Iceland and Croatia and some special effects work in hollywood.
Dubrovnik, Croatia serves as the setting for King’s Landing and several new locations added in the fourth season. OLV reports that Dorne could be a possible location for the country of Dorne, the southernmost region of the Seven Kingdoms.
A Storm of Swords, the third book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, gives us some insight into the landscape of Dorne, which is largely a hot desert region, but also has mountains and a coastline. Dorne’s capital is Sunspear, a hot desert-region stronghold where prominent members of the ruling Martell family reside. [OLV]
Adding Spain will bring the total of countries used for Game of Thrones to eight. If, HBO was interested in saving some money they would possibly look at locations in the United States such as Georgia, which offers a 30% tax incentive to productions. But, according to reports, HBO spends $6 million an episode. So money is probably not a concern.
