There's a huge void in my life at the moment. One made up of empty, lonely feelings that stem from a complete lack of Game of Thrones. I'm not even being dramatic here, I'm serious.
It's now been almost two months since the season six finale and, honestly, I'm not coping well. Not at all. I've read every fan theory going and I've watched every blooper wheel, but it's just not enough. I need season seven. NOW! But, as we all well know, it's fucking ages away.

However, these new casting breakdowns, attained by fan site Watchers on the Wall, are enough to keep me ticking over I reckon. Although there's no specific names for the roles, there's enough information to get a load of fresh new theories going.
From a 'senior military general', to a 'young lord', here's all the new characters we can expect to see in season seven.
Warrior
For this role, the creators are looking for a guy in the 35 - 45 age range.
Advert
The character is a 'tough-looking bruiser with the attack skills of a pit bull', and the actor who takes on the roll needs to be 'good at fighting'. Danny Dyer, perhaps?
This role also has a 'considerable' amount of dialogue as well but, apparently, it's an 'excellent part for a top-end actor.' Never mind actually, Danny, mate. Scrap that.
City Guard
According to the notes, this role is suited to someone 'in his 30s' and they require a RP accent. So we can assume this guy is going to turn up in King's Landing if he's gonna be speaking all proper and that. Tom Hiddleston?

Lovely Lady
According to Watchers on the Wall, writers are looking for an 'attractive young courtesan who is sure of her own mind'. (HERE I AM!)
Apparently it's a 'good speaking part' but full nudity is required for the role. (Nah, actually, fuck that. I've got more rolls than Greggs).
Young Lord
Advert
This character is apparently a 'tall, handsome young lord' and creators are looking for a white actor who uses the RP accent. Could this be for another flashback scene, maybe?
Merchant
Creators are looking for a male in their mid 40s for this 'non-combatant' role. According to the notes, his ethnicity and race has been left open so that doesn't give much away I suppose. The only other thing we know is the merchant appears at an inn during a busy evening. Maybe he'll bump into Daenerys as she's just set off on a huge journey to King's Landing?
I guess we'll just have to just wait and see.
