Game of Thrones season eight is still over a year away (probably), so we're clinging to every detail we can get.
Watchers on the Wall has reported that the final season is adding eight new characters, including five who need improvisational skills, so it's probably little more than a fun scene or background detail.
What to Read Next
Of more interest is three classic Game of Thrones types, starting with a male soldier with an imposing presence and actual combat skills for a "physically intense performance".
Sharing similar shooting dates, if not connected, will be a young village girl role for an actress aged 18-25 who will have to be naked above the waist (classic Thrones).
Finally HBO is looking for a clean-shaven grieving man with the actor chosen importantly not going over the top, so it's likely to be for a pretty important role or scene.
Well, there probably will be a lot of death in the final season.
Ahead of the final season, Emilia Clarke has been hilariously trying to spoil it for fans, but it's all for a good cause.
Production designer Deborah Riley has also been talking to Digital Spy about behind-the-scenes secrets, including how they made Joffrey's awesome wedding pie, even if he didn't have much time to enjoy it.
"Fans were installed beneath the pie to ensure that the live white doves that were hidden inside flew away at the correct moment," she explained.
Game of Thrones returns in 2019. The show airs on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK. Season 7 is now available to buy on DVD, Blu-ray or digital download.
