“Game of Thrones” is now looking for new eight characters that will join the coming Season 8. The casting call is now up for the television show's gearing production. So, new details about the incoming roles are now revealed and it teases major storylines that are about to be seen.
New characters that might have connections with the Greyjoys
People behind the television show based on George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” novel series will add a mercenary character, Watchers on the Wall cited.
Some say that he could have a connection to Euron Greyjoy (Pilou Asbaek).
This new role is said to be an authoritative, fit, cool, charismatic, and military type. He, too, has to know how to ride a horse.
To recall, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) asked the King of the Iron Islands to get the Golden Company’s famous sellswords to fight for the Queen. Although she agreed to the truce with Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), she has another plan to take down the two leaders.
“Game of Thrones” Season 8 also needs a man who is “rough and ready” for a sea voyage. He should be a “seafaring type sailor” that might hint the new chapter’s focus on the Ironborn storyline. In the previous season, it has been known that Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) now has the courage to do everything in an effort to rescue his sister, Yara Greyjoy (Gemma Whelan), from Cersei’s hands.
Other needs on the casting call
The casting call is also looking for a “sassy and attractive girl” from the North to join “Game of Thrones” Season 8.
She will be paired with another “colorful young Northern” actor that will be her sentinel, the Sun reported. Another one is a 25 to a 35-year-old man who will play the role of a farmer.
He is said to be honest, straightforward, and a simple man who can work on the land. Lastly, the upcoming installment could delve into the boundaries outside Westeros. There is a need to add two guards in the television show that will be shot in Spain.
The fantasy drama series’ storyline has been altered since George R.R. Martin is not yet done writing “A Song of Ice and Fire” sixth novel, “The Winds of Winter.” Thus, the show’s creators D.B.
Weiss and David Benioff are the ones who are writing the seventh and eighth’s chapters' storylines. However, its plotline is still bound to secrecy, News.com.au reported.
Although it is not yet revealed when “Game of Thrones” Season 8 will return to the small screen, it is expected to be out in 2019 on HBO.
