‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Character Details Leaked

Since there’s no new Game of Thrones this week (we know, we’re bummed too), hopefully this exciting new  casting news will hold you over until next Sunday.

Prepare to travel to the progressive land of Dorne, Game of Thrones fans!

There has already been speculation about Dorne being the newest location added to the show next season when news of shooting in  Spain broke, but now we can pretty much confirm.

Details of some of the new characters we’ll meet next season have been released as casting will be underway soon, and from the looks of it, we’ll have the pleasure of meeting the entire Martell family ext season.

If they’re all as hot (and intelligent…that’s important too) as Oberyn, then guys and girls alike are in for a treat.

Let’s take a look at the casting details from Winteriscoming.net:

Prince Doran Martell – Doran is described as the major new player this year, appearing in multiple episodes. The fiftysomething prince uses a wheelchair, is reclusive and rules wisely. It appears the show is looking to continue the trend it started with Pedro Pascal, and cast Latino actors for the Martell clan.

Prince Trystane Martell- Trystane, the handsome fiance of Princess Myrcella, is being aged up to 18.

Areo Hotah- Doran’s personal bodyguard will appear throughout the season, assisting the prince with his duties. The show is particularly looking for a black actor to fill the role.

The Sand Snakes, Oberyn Martell’s bastard daughters (with ages ranging 18-25):

Obara Sand- The eldest and most athletic Sand Snake will be having a major fight scene with a series regular character- not one who crosses her path in the books. This is an interesting change.

Nymeria Sand- Nymeria is described as “mixed race,” with her father being the fairer Oberyn and her mother being darker skinned. The second oldest of these Sand Snakes, she’s beautiful, emotional and very strong.

Tyene Sand- The youngest of the Sand Snakes that we meet uses her wits and seductive powers, and is less of a physical fighter than the other Sand Snakes. She is just as deadly as her sisters, however, but her weapon is poison.

High Sparrow- The books’ pious head of a religious movement will be appearing in several episodes in season 5.A Feast for Crows, she’ll be in one episode next year.

Lollys Stokeworth –Just last week in “Mockingbird,” Bronn announced his intention to marry Lollys, whom Tyrion considers “dimwitted.” It looks like the sellsword will still be around next year.

Yezzan-A sleazy Meereenese slave owner.

The Waif-The strange child from the books that Arya encounters will likely be played by an older actress, one in her later teens, and we understand the show is specifically looking for a woman of East Asian descent for the part.

Which new characters are you excited to see and who would you cast in their roles?
