Other new cast members have also been the subject of online rumors for the past few weeks.
The final lineup includes the recasting of Myrcella Baratheon, the only daughter of Cersei Lannister, played by Lena Headey. Myrcella may last be remembered as being shipped off to the Kingdom of Dorne in the show's second season.
Some of the new cast members will play characters from Done as season five will be having a change in direction, focusing on the home of the departed Prince Oberyn Martell played by Pedro Pascal last season.
Scenes in Dorne are expected to be filmed in Spain, a new addition to Thrones' lineup of locations for production.
The latest additions to Westeros and their characters include:
-- Alexander Siddig as Doran Martell, known as the even-tempered ruling lord of Dorne and the older brother of Prince Oberyn.
-- Toby Sebastian as Trystane Martell, the son of Prince Doran and heir to Dorne. He entered an agreement to marry Myrcella Baratheon as part of the alliance established by Tywin Lannister, played by Charles Dance in the past seasons.
-- Nell Tiger Free as Myrcella Baratheon. She is now the eldest child of Cersei Lannister and has been a guest and ward of Prince Doran in Dorne.
-- DeObia Oparei as Areo Hotah, who has been the captain of Doran Martell's palace guard for a long time.
-- Enzo Cilenti as Yezzan, who had been a highly privileged slave trader before Daenerys Targaryen, played by Emilia Clarke, made slave trade illegal.
-- Jessica Henwick as Nymeria ("Nym") Sand, the second eldest among Oberyn's bastard daughters.
-- Rosabell Laurenti Sellers as Tyene Sand, another bastard daughter of Oberyn, equipped with twin daggers.
-- Keisha Castle-Hughes as Obara Sand, the eldest bastard daughter of Oberyn with a formidable nature.
-- And Jonathan Pryce as the High Sparrow, a pious man and influential religious leader in King's Landing to serve the poor and the oppressed.
The fifth season of Game of Thrones has been set to premiere in April of 2015.
