HBO has released a new behind-the-scenes video from Season 2 of the medieval fantasy, Game of Thrones, featuring interviews with cast members Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), as well as commentary from executive producer David Benioff.

The American series, created for HBO by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, is based on author George R. R. Martin’s best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels and debuted in the US in April 2011. Set in the medieval fantasy world of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, the series, which has a mainly British and Irish cast, chronicles the violent struggles among the kingdom’s noble families for control of the Iron Throne.

This latest behind-the-scenes video gives us a sneak peek at some upcoming scenes, which will return to US TV screens via HBO in April 2012, and will be broadcast later in the year on Sky Atlantic over in the UK.

Benioff talks about the move of location to Belfast for filming and says, “You really need to believe that you’re in a space that has been there for thousands of years, and you get that with the Irish forest.”
