Ed Sheeran
has revealed that he will appear in the new series of Game Of Thrones.
The news
was broken yesterday (March 12th) by the fantasy drama's showrunners David
Benioff and Dan Weiss, who revealed that they have been trying to book Sheeran
to appear on the show for quite some time as they have wanted to surprise star
Maisie Williams, who is a huge fan, and finally succeeded in season seven.
It's not
known what role Sheeran will play or if he will have a speaking part. The likes
of Coldplay, Mastodon, Of Monsters and Men, and Sigur Ros have all appeared in
the series in the past.
Sheeran's
confirmation comes a few days after it was revealed that the hugely successful
series will return to screens on July 16th this summer.
It will be
broadcast in the UK on Sky Atlantic on July 16th in simulcast with the US and
then repeated on the evening of Monday July 17th. You can see the first teaser
below:
Unlike
previous seasons the seventh and penultimate season of the show will feature
just seven episodes, though it remains to be seen if each episode is an hour in
length or longer.
Among the
new cast members for the upcoming season are Jim Broadbent and Tom Hopper.
Hopper will play Dickon Tarly, while Broadbent's role has yet to be confirmed.
