New cast this season include Clinton Liberty as Addam of Hull, Jamie Kenna as Ser Alfred Broome, Kieran Bew as Hugh, Tom Bennett as Ulf, Tom Taylor as Lord Cregan Stark, and Vincent Regan as Ser Rickard Thorne. Previously announced new season two cast includes BAFTA nominee Abubakar Salim (Father in Raised by Wolves) as Alyn of Hull, Gayle Rankin as Alys Rivers (Sheila the She-Wolf in GLOW), Freddie Fox as Ser Gwayne Hightower, and two-time BAFTA winner Simon Russell Beale as Ser Simon Strong.
