Mayo actor Ellie McHale-Roe is set to appear in HBO’s highly anticipated new fantasy series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, part of the Game of Thrones universe, which premieres tonight at 9pm on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.

Speaking about the experience, Ellie described working on the production as a major milestone in her career.
“Being part of a production of this scale was an unforgettable experience. The level of care, detail, and collaboration on set was incredibly inspiring, and it’s something I’ll carry with me as I continue my career,” she said.
