A new character will be introduced in the upcoming season 7 of "Game of Thrones," while another will have a surprising come back. Meanwhile, the series is rumored to premiere in June, with a possible launch date leaked.

"Game of Thrones" season 7 will soon be released in a few months, and Watchers on the Wall reports that Australian actor Brendan Cowell has been tapped to play an Ironborn on the show.

Cowell will portray Harrag, which is identified as a minor character in George R.R. Martin's fifth book, "A Dance with Dragons," from his "A Song of Ice and Fire" novel series. But it is also possible that Harrag will have a different storyline on the "Game of Thrones" series compared to the book.

Meanwhile, a character that will have a surprising return is Walder Frey, played by David Bradley.

According to Independent, Bradley's official agency resume lists the actor in an appearance for the upcoming "Game of Thrones" season 7, which is confusing since Arya (Maisie Williams) already killed him in the previous season.

However, since Arya has mastered being Faceless and taking the identity of others, Frey's appearance might only be Arya in disguise.

Williams shared with Timeout that all the characters in "Game of Thrones" will finally cross paths in season 7 and that "a huge cliffhanger" can be expected from the upcoming installment.

Although the actress has seen the end of season 7, Williams is still uncertain whether her character will make it to another season of "Game of Thrones."

There have been speculations that "Game of Thrones" season 7 will premiere this coming June because of a recent update on its IMDb page, placing the first episode on a June 25 date.

IMDb has already changed their page, but Metro was able to take a screenshot showing the June 25 premiere date.

"Game of Thrones" season 7 is expected to premiere in June 2017.
