We still know next to nothing about when or where they’ll be battling, but the upcoming “Game of Thrones” prequel series just added a bunch of new players to the mix. On Tuesday, a group of eight actors and actresses were announced as brand new cast members on the still untitled series, set thousands of years before the timeline of the current “Game of Thrones” TV show.
Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Jamie Campbell Bower, Georgie Henley, Sheila Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Toby Regbo, and Alex Sharp all join the previously revealed Naomi Watts in the show’s ensemble. (George R.R. Martin has hinted that he’d like the series to be called “The Long Night,” but no official title has been confirmed as of yet.)
