The hotly-anticipated final season of Game Of Thrones is set to return on April 14.
And a cast list for the opening episode has allegedly been leaked on Friday, revealing the surprising return of some familiar faces.
According to Watchers On The Wall, a community for fans of the HBO show, both Kristofer Hivju and Richard Dormer are reportedly reprising their roles as Tormund and Beric Dondarrion, respectively.
Tormund and Beric were last seen on top of The Wall during the season seven finale when the Night King used Daenerys' fallen dragon Viserion to destroy the ancient structure so that he and the White Walkers could pass into Westeros.
As the dragon destroyed The Wall, Beric and Tormund were seen jumping out of shot and it was not clear whether or not the two characters had survived the encounter.
Other surprising characters that are reportedly set to return in the final season include Tobias Menzies’s Edmure Tully, and Lino Facioli's Robin Arryn.
MailOnline have contacted representatives of HBO who declined to comment.
