to feel like us non-book fans for a change? Because
you're about to take a walk in our shoes when the
HBO hit series debuts in 2015.
While fans of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and
Fire novels have always been one step ahead of non-
book readers while watching the action play out
onscreen, always knowing what's coming next (ahem,
Red and Purple Weddings!), the HBO TV adaptation is
about to introduce a brand-new character in season
five that isn't in the books.
Yeah, book readers, how does that feel? Welcome to
our world!
Details of the new character named "Malko" are
being kept secret right now (no surprise there!), but
he is definitely not from the books.
And the best part? Malko is being played by Mr. Eko!
That's right, Lost alum Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
landed the über-mysterious role on the HBO fantasy
series The actor tweeted about his new role,
confirming his Westeros presence.
This deviation from the books is not the only new
aspect Game of Thrones is introducing this season.
As we previously reported, there will also be
flashbacks for the first time ever in season five, and
the first one is appearing as early as the premiere!
Start speculating now as to what this flashback will
entail. Are we going to get to see any of our dearly
departed Game of Thrones favorites? We certainly
hope so!
THR first reported this casting news. Request for
comment from HBO was not immediately returned.
