Arya Stark (Maisie Williams)

Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright)
After a Season off, Bran made a triumphant return this year. Unfortunately, Hempstead Wright has nothing on the slate but Game Of Thrones.
Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage)
He drinks and he knows things. He's also the heart, soul and razor-edged tongue of the entire show. Frankly we'd watch Dinklage in pretty much anything.
Next on screen: Shooting is complete on the sci-fi mystery Rememory, co-starring Anton Yelchin in what's now, tragically, one of his final roles. Currently filming Martin McDonagh's thriller Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Neither film has a release date yet.

Coster-Waldau also stars in Jens Dahl's Danish thriller 3 Things, which is out in its home country in May, 2017.
