Every SPOILER we know for Game of Thrones season 8
By Dan Selcke
One final batch of new characters
There are still a few new characters to get through. For this final batch, we don’t know who’s playing them. Still, some of the character descriptions are interesting:
- A Northern Girl: This character is 8-10 years old, was brought up in a family of soldiers, and displays “dauntlessness and integrity.” The role is said to be a “very nice stand-out part for a strong-minded young girl with a fighting spirit.” We think this might be the role that Bronte Carmichael is playing.
- A Boy: This character is 8-12 years old, physically fit, and comes from a poor background; kid had to fight to carve out a place for himself in the world. The actor needs to “completely own the scenes that he appears in.” Note: that is ‘scenes’ with an ‘s’.
- Sad-eyed young girl: This actress needs to be between the ages of 9 and 11, have a neutral southern accent, and will share “one excellent scene with a leading cast member.”
- A young mother and her daughter: The mother is aged 25 to 30. She’s poor, and is in “a survival situation.” The casting department wants someone who knows how to improvise. Her daughter will be played by twins. The girls should be aged 5-8. This character is slated to appear in multiple scenes over the course of one episode.
- A mercenary: Aged 35-50, this guy is “an authoritative, fit, cool and charismatic military type.” He needs to to be able to ride a horse and will appear in two episodes.
- Northern farmer: Aged 25 – 35, this guy is a “straightforward honest man of simple tastes.”
- Sassy and attractive girl: Aged 18 – 25, she’ll play opposite leading cast members in a “memorable” scene. This is another small Northern role.
- Northern sentry, aged 18 – 25: This is another role with scenes opposite leading cast members. HBO wants “a characterful young Northern actor with great timing.”
- A sailor, aged 35- 50: “He’s a rough-and ready sea-faring type with a weathered face and strong presence.”
- A military guard: Aged 25-35, this actor can be of any ethnicity. HBO wants a “fit and agile excellent actor with a good distinctive face,” someone who “can handle himself in a fight.”
- A group of five characters who will feature in a scene where they’re “haggling over land.” HBO is looking for actors with improvisational skills for these parts.
- A male soldier, aged 30-40: HBO wants a “physically intense performance from a strapping squaddie type.” He’ll need to have combat skills, so look for him to appear in an action scene.
- A village girl, aged 18-25, who will be attacked in an “intense” scene requiring her to be naked above the waist.
- A clean-shaven grieving man: Aged 30-40, he’ll be in an emotional scene, although HBO doesn’t want anybody to “go over the top” with it.
- A pair of guards: Guard #1 is is a physically fit 20-something who’s good in a fight. Guard #2 is a tall, athletic 30-something. He’s professional, dependable and has one line opposite leading cast members.
And those are all the new characters we know of! Let’s move on to something else:
