"Winter is Coming" and it's bringing two Palestinians along with it!

Palestinian actors - good looking ones, may we add - Yousef Sweid and Leem Lubany, are set to appear in the upcoming 6th season of HBO's global hit TV series "Game of Thrones."

While we're not sure what roles the young Pali actors will be playing (though we secretly think that Daenerys and Yousef would make a lovely couple!), we're just super excited to see them appear in a high profile show.

According to The Palestine Project, Yousef has had roles in The Bubble (2006), Agora (2009) and Inch’Allah (2012), and is also known for shows like “Homeland” and plays like “Walk on Water.”

Meanwhile, Leem has appeared in Omar (2013), Rock the Kasbah (2015) and From A to B (2014).

Mark your calendars: season 6 of the medieval fantasy epic, based on the fantasy book series by George R. R. Martin, will air in April 2016.
