Game of Thrones season 6 spoilers: High Sparrow actor hints at character's fate
It doesn't look good for some/all of the Tyrells either

Your support makes all the difference.While we are all a little distracted by Daenerys’ arson and Jon Snow’s plans to take back Winterfell, season 6 episode 4 of Game of Thrones - ‘Book of the Stranger’ - saw trouble brewing over in King’s Landing.
Chiefly, it was whatever it was the High Sparrow told King Tommen.
“I promised him I wouldn’t tell anyone,” the nervous king told his mother Cersei, and the popular theory regarding the secret is pretty convincing: Ser Loras confessed that the Tyrells had a hand in Joffrey’s murder.
If this gets out, it could set in motion a scheme that sees Cersei exact revenge on the Faith Militant and some/all of the Tyrells in one foul swoop, and that’s where a recent Jonathan Pryce interview comes in.
The High Sparrow actor’s quotes were printed in Polish, but one essentially says that Cerise’s trial does take place, with the Sparrow and his supporters waiting in the Sept of Baelor for her to show up, not suspecting that something very unpleasant is about to happen.
Could we be about to see a Red Wedding pt. 2, with Qyburn killing everyone with wildfire and/or The Mountain doing the same?
Margaery and Olenna are not to be underestimated however, nor is the somewhat redeemed Jaime, who is prophesied to kill his sister at some point…
We’ll found out (maybe) in episode 5 - ‘The Door’ - on Sunday.
