Game of Thrones Season 5 Spoilers: Photos of Cersei's Walk of Shame

HBO's Game of Thrones has filmed a pivotal scene from George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series involving Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), and new photos from the set show just how brutal this scene could be.

WARNING: BOOK SPOILERS AHEAD

In the books, Cersei suffers the wrath of a mob in King's Landing in a particularly brutal and powerful scene. The Game of Thrones community site The Watchers on The Wall has posted some photos from the filming of the scene, and it looks as though the series will stay true to the book.

The photos show Headey, or possibly a stunt double, naked with much of her blond hair cut off as part of the shaming. She also has blood, dirt and possibly even fecal matter all over her back. Check out one photo at the top of the page and the rest here.

In related news, Game of Thrones fans last saw Tywin Lannister, played by the great actor Charles Dance, in the Season 4 finale, the character was squatting over his chamber pot. Tyrion then waltzed in and tagged his father with two crossbow bolts to end his life.

But in a recent interview with MTV, Dance reveals that Tywin will be back in Season 5. "I'm not completely missing out on the next series," he said. "You haven't seen the last of Tywin Lannister."
