The Game of Thrones spinoff is gearing up for its season three debut, arriving on HBO this Sunday, June 21. The eight-episode installment will roll out weekly on Sunday evenings.

The upcoming season is shaping up to feature significant roster changes. HBO has confirmed that 22 actors will be returning to their roles, while simultaneously bringing seven new performers into the fold.

However, not all familiar faces will be making a comeback. One prominent cast member was written out during season two and will not appear in the new episodes. Additionally, three other series regulars have been left off the season three cast list, suggesting their time with the series has concluded.

The combination of returning favorites and fresh talent signals both continuity and evolution for the Targaryen-focused drama as it heads into its third chapter.
