ModExpor International, the agency that casts extras for HBO's "Game of Thrones" in Spain, posted a casting call earlier this week for babies ages 9-12 months (and twins) and children 8-14 years to film in Peniscola for one day in October.
Nothing in the casting call mentions "Game of Thrones" by name, but the show will be filming in that location in Spain during the same time.
So what role will these babies play? No one knows at the moment but there are a few guesses.
"It's possible that the baby casting is for little Sam - twins are often used to play one infant character," the Watchers on the Wall fan site that broke the news reported. "Though, season 5 ended with Sam, Gilly, and little Sam heading to the Citadel in Oldtown, in [A Song of Ice and Fire] Same and Gilly (and Maester Aemon and Mance Rayder's son) travel to Braavos. It's possible that season 6 will have the trio travel overseas in a convergence of sorts with their literary plot line."
What the site didn't throw out as a possibility is that the babies are connected to the White Walkers. Fans know that Craster left his infant sons for the ice zombies to convert to their own race. The Night King, who stared Jon Snow down in the epic finale to last season's "Hardhome," appears to be concerned with increasing the number of White Walkers for his eventual march south. Could these babies be further converts of the growing enemy? We'll have to wait until season six to find out.
