HBO's Game of Thrones featured some of the most iconic character performances in the history of fantasy, with a cast that brought George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels to life and captured the attention of audiences worldwide for years. Many of the show's headliners remain inseparable from their character counterparts, such as Peter Dinklage as Tyrion, Emilia Clark as Daenerys, Kit Harrington as Jon Snow, etc.
One fan-favorite actor that is instantly associated with her Game of Thrones counterpart is the iconic Gwendoline Christie, known of course for her deeply emotional portrayal of Brienne of Tarth, Catelyn Stark's sworn sword and Jaime Lannister's unlikely love interest. Brienne may have been a more "minor" character when compared to some of the other icons from the show, but she played as crucial a role as any and was featured in some of the series' best moments.
And now, after nearly seven years since she was last seen on screen, Brienne of Tarth is making an official return to Game of Thrones on Wednesday, August 26, joining House Stark as a trusted ally yet again (via GoTL).
