The Crown star Tobias Menzies 'has no idea' if he'll be in Game of Thrones season 8

It's a fair bet to assume we've seen several characters for the final time

With just six episodes of Game of Thrones to go before it draws to a close, it's a fair bet to assume that we've seen certain characters for the final time.

Judging by actor Tobias Menzies, it seems that one such character we won't be seeing again is Edmure Tully.

Tully was last seen in season 6 as the prisoner of Walder Frey (David Bradley) which he's been ever since the Red Wedding, despite Frey losing his life at the hands of Arya in season 7's memorable cold open.

Granted, Menzies may still appear - he just hasn't got the call yet. However, with production well underway - and the issue of White Walkers taking over Westeros, it certainly seems Edmure has fallen by the wayside.

Upon being asked whether he'll appear in the final episodes, Menzies told Digital Spy: “The honest answer is, I have no idea. He's obviously somewhere in a prison, he's still around alive somewhere. They're pretty stingy with their information and I've not heard anything from them.

“I feel like they have so many stories to tie up, whether that's a story they'll want to go back to, I don't know.”

He also confirmed that the BBC doesn't seem to be prepping a new series of The Night Manager just yet, adding: “You do hear stories that they want to try and find another story out of it but I've not heard anything.

Menzies will next be seen in the Ridley Scott-produced horror series The Terror which begins in the UK on AMC on BT TV on 24 April.

Game of Thrones returns to HBO and Sky Atlantic in 2019.
