Ed Sheeran’s Game Of Thrones Guest Appearance
The panel was hosted by Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner, who play Stark sisters Arya and Sansa respectively, giving Benioff the chance to poke a little fun.
Producers of “Game of Thrones” also give clarifications that there will be no spin-off, prequels, or sequels for the show after this next two-season run.
But one part of the show that will surely not be in the books is Ed Sheeran’s cameo.
If you’re a Game of Thrones fan who didn’t like the idea of a short season 7, you’re not going to love the latest news about the show’s eighth and final season.
Ed Sheeran is potentially on his way to Westeros – after Game Of Thrones producers confirmed he would be making a cameo in the hit HBO show. It’s much grander. There are less episodes this year, so they spent more money on those episodes.
The panel, which put Williams and Turner in charge of asking the Weiss and Benioff questions, was light on spoilers but heavy on jokes.
But, TBH, the fact that he even said that probably means Sansa is safer than any other Thrones character left.
Benioff and Weiss had been trying to get the British musician on the show for a while, Entertainment Weekly reported.
It has been a very long 9 months since we watched the end of Game of Thrones season 6.
In casting news, singer Ed Sheeran is going to do a guest spot in Season 7, playing an unspecified role that he apparently has another cast member to thank for. Yup, once, actor Noah Taylor, who played the murderous Locke. But this upcoming season changed things.
The seventh series of the HBO fantasy drama returns to TV screens in July.
The creators have chose to end the show with a six-episode long season – a shorter season than the 10 episodes viewers have been used to.
