Support NeoGAF

The cast list includes all the main stars everyone expected for the premiere, as well as a few others who we may have believed would skip the first episode, such as Jerome Flynn (Bronn); Kristofer Hivju and Richard Dormer (Tormund and Beric Dondarrion, last seen running away from the falling Wall), Carice van Houten (Melisandre, last seen heading to Volantis), and Gemma Whelan (Yara Greyjoy, last seen being imprisoned by Euron).

As for supporting and secondary characters, we have Anton Lesser and Hafþór Björnsson as Qyburn and the Mountain, the last remaining allies of Cersei; Pilou Asbæk as Euron Greyjoy; Rupert Vansittart, Bella Ramsey and Richard Rycroft filling in the northern court as Yohn Royce, Lyanna Mormont, and Maester Wolkan; Megan Parkinson and Harry Grasby as the totally doomed Alys Karstark and Ned Umber, the new rulers of Karhold and Last Hearth, the first lines of defense once the Wall falls; Staz Nair as Qhono, Dany’s main Dothraki bloodrider; and Ben Crompton back as Edd Tollett, who is, against all odds, the acting Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch.

So far, nothing shocking. However, the list ends with two pretty unexpected returns: Lino Facioli, who plays Robin Arryn, last seen in season six being manipulated by Littlefinger to march the Knights of the Vale north; and Tobias Menzies as Edmure Tully, who I believe we all gave up for dead (or forgotten) when Arya didn’t free him from the Twins in the season seven premiere, if he was indeed still there. I guess we’ll see!

Blows my mind that a modern show this popular isn't in 4K.
