New Cast Members & Directors Join the Epic Saga
This season welcomes Sons of Anarchy star Tommy Flanagan as Ser Roderick Dustin and Fantastic Beasts actor Dan Fogler as Ser Torrhen Manderly. Both will bring their talents to the bloody and power-hungry world of Westeros.
The production has also lined up an impressive team of directors, including Clare Kilner, Nina Lopez-Corrado, Andrij Parekh, and Loni Peristere, ensuring a visually stunning and action-packed season.
