As filming for Game of Thrones season 6 continues in Girona, Spain, some revealing new set snaps from in and around the public theatre have unearthed some interesting casting details. We already knew this next season would feature a troupe of actors for several key scenes, and it seems they'll be performing a play-within-the-show as some very familiar faces.

As you can see, Babadook star Essie Davis is dressed as Cersei Lannister, while Richard E. Grant's lead actor (possibly an incarnation of Izembaro, the King of the Mummers, from the books) seems to be taking the role of her late husband, Robert Baratheon. Exactly what role this troupe will play in the plot remains to be seen, but judging from the final image it's a safe bet Arya (Maisie Williams) will be involved!

And my first first. I feel special.

Not quite "licking the windows to taste the sunshine" special. But, you know, worth having another beer special maybe.
