"Lucy Boynton is probably the highest-profile actor in this announcement, and she's got a role to match. Lady Rohanne is the intimidating Lady of Coldmoat who gets into a dispute over water rights between her and her neighbor. She has a reputation for all of her (many) husbands passing away under suspicious circumstances, and she finds some chemistry with Dunk himself."
"After the events of The Sworn Sword, Lady Rohanne goes on to be the mother of Tytos Lannister, the grandmother of Tywin Lannister, and therefore the great-grandmother of Jaime, Cersei, and Tyrion Lannister."
"Ser Bennis of the Brown Shield is a fellow hedge knight who goes way back with Dunk: he knew him back when he was the squire of Ser Arlan of Pennytree when the two knights were hired for the same job. Unlike Dunk, Ser Bennis isn't super concerned with honor."
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is scaling down from Game of Thrones while maintaining narrative impact. Season 1 focused entirely on one tournament and significantly altered Westeros's trajectory. Season 2 production is already progressing, drawing from the source material The Sworn Sword. Three new actors have been cast: Lucy Boynton as Lady Rohanne of Coldmoat (the Red Widow), Babou Ceesay as Ser Bennis of the Brown Shield, and Peter Mullan as Ser Eustace Osgrey. Lady Rohanne is an intimidating noblewoman involved in a water rights dispute who becomes Tywin Lannister's grandmother. Ser Bennis is a hedge knight acquaintance of Dunk from his past, distinguished by his lack of concern for honor.
