Thronescast, the popular Game of Thrones aftershow that airs in the U.K. on Sky Atlantic, is returning just in time for season 8. This year, there will be a special episode hosted by Sue Perkins called Thronecast: Gameshow of Thrones, where “celebrity superfans and cast members from seasons past pledge allegiance to their houses and battle it out for supremacy in the field of Thrones trivia.”
Former Game of Thrones stars Kate Dickie (Lysa Arryn) and Hannah Waddingham (Septa Unella), will face off against each other with team captains Rob Beckett and Jonathan Ross, along with comedian Joel Dommett and radio DJ Rickie Haywood providing support for their teams.
Game of Thrones storyboard artist Will Simpson has created original House sigils for House Ross and House Beckett, both of which look pretty cool. Fans of Thronescast can expect to see both new and familiar faces when the special airs on Sky One and streaming service NOW TV at 10:00 p.m. on Friday, March 29.

While Thronescast will air after each episode of Game of Thrones, there will be a lead-up show — Thronecast: War Room — which will air at some point before the show returns for its eighth and final season on April 14.
