Rose Leslie, who was last seen leaving "Downton Abbey" as the housemaid-turned-secretary Gwen, will be trading the British period drama for HBO's "Game of Thrones", TVGuide.com has confirmed.
Leslie will play Ygritte, a wildling woman who travels with Mance Rayder and crosses paths with Jon Snow (Kit Harington). Physically, the Scottish actress is the perfect fit for Ygritte, whose red hair is seen as lucky among the wildings, who describe such redheads as "kissed by fire."
Leslie, 24, is the latest to join the large and impressive guest cast for Season 2 of HBO's fantasy drama.
The newcomers include:
Lucian Msamati
Robert Pugh
Hannah Murray
Roy Dotrice
Liam Cunningham
Carice van Houten
Gwendoline Christie
Natalie Dormer
Entertainment Weekly first reported the news.
