By It’s been a while since any members of House Tyrell were on our screens. Most of them perished in wildfire in Game of Thrones Season 6 accompanied by Ramin Djawadi’s iconic piece and then Olenna Tyrell, the Queen of Thorns, had the last laugh in front of Jaime Lannister in Season 7, aired in 2017. That’ll be 8 years when A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms airs in 2025.
Steve Wall cast as Leo ‘Longthorn’ Tyrell
We’ve learned that actor Steve Wall has been cast as Leo Tyrell aka Leo Longthorn, one of the most well regarded Tyrells in the history of Westeros. He participated in the First Blackfyre Rebellion and was among the important participants of the Ashford tourney in The Hedge Knight.
