The Badabook's Essie Davis is understood to have joined the cast of Season 6 ofGame of Thrones.
In a bit of a Shakespearean twist, the star is thought to be playing an actress amongst a troupe that performs the play The Bloody Hand, which tells the story of King's Landing so far.
Davis' character will take on the role of Cersei Lannister in the play, played in the show by Lena Headey, according to The Wrap.
Richard E Grant is also understood to be appearing as an actor in the troupe, and will play the role of Cersei's late husband Robert Baratheon.
Davis is the latest name linked to joining the cast, following Grant, Max von Sydow,Ian McShane, and Freddie Stroma.
Von Sydow will take over the role of the mystical Three-eyed Raven, McShane will star in an undisclosed but "major" role and Stroma has been cast as Samwell Tarly's younger brother Dickon Tarly.
Game of Thrones is still maintaining it's air of mystery as filming continues, but judging by the shooting of some scenes already - it seems we may not have seen the last of one particular character.
Game of Thrones returns to HBO and Sky Atlantic next year.
