Australian actress Essie Davis has been cast for season 6 of HBO's hit series "Game of Thrones," Watchers on the Wall reported. Davis is best known for her roles in the two "Marix" sequels and the 2014 horror film "The Babadook."
Davis is reportedly playing a member of a traveling theatre group of actors in Braavos that stars in a play called "The Bloody Hand," according to Variety. The play is meant to mirror the real world of Kings Landing and all the scandals the capitol of Westeros has seen. Davis plays a version of Cersei Lannister in the play. Davis' actress character is described as "in her early 40s, she's an elegant actress with a traveling theatre company. She is a fun, charismatic, rum-drinking actress in the troupe."
"Game of Thrones" season six returns to HBO in Spring 2016.
