A lot were surprised to see Freddie Stroma as Dickon, Samwell Tarly's (John Bradley-West), in "Game of Thrones" Season 6 in a short stint. However, it looks like the "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" star is not going to reprise his role in the coming "Game of Thrones" Season 7.

Stroma revealed to IGN that his role in the new ABC television series, "Time After Time," hinders him to be in "Game of Thrones" Season 7. Although the 30-year-old actor was advised that his character in the George R.R. Martin-adapted epic adventure will have a possibility to return, he chose to be in the adventures of the young H.G. Wells and his time machine.

According to a report by Watchers on the Wall, there is a higher chance that the "Black Sails" actor Tom Hopper is going to replace Stroma's role as Dickon. With that, fans will see more of the 31-year-old English actor as there will be a lot of scenes between Dickon and his father Randyll (James Faulkner) in "Game of Thrones" Season 7.

Moreover, Liam Cunningham, who plays the role of Ser Davos Seaworth, revealed that there is already a filming date for "Game of Thrones" Season 8. The 55-year-old "First Knight" star told Dubai One that they are still filming the seven episode of "Game of Thrones" Season 7 until the end of February and they will start filming again in September for the final six.

Cunningham also teased that "Game of Thrones" Season 7 is "going to be extraordinary." However, he still feels the "constant pressure" of keeping the show's high standards. "I suppose the more eyes you get on this beast, you can't rest on your laurels!" he said. "Game of Thrones" Season 7 is expected to be back on HBO in June.
