Lyanna Mormont, played by young actress Bella Ramsey, will be back on "Game of Thrones" Season 7.

According to Watchers on the Wall, a set report has confirmed that the fan favorite character will indeed make a comeback on the penultimate season of "Game of Thrones." On Monday, photos of Ramsey stepping out her trailer in full Lady Mormont have been shared on Twitter. But as expected, details on her Season 7 appearance were not made available.

"Another appearance in Corbet last week, Northern powers are meeting!!" reads the tweet.

Ramsey made her "Game of Thrones" debut last season as the fiery Lyanna Mormont, a character who quickly captured the hearts of the show's followers. Viewers will remember that Mormont joined forces with Jon Snow and Sansa Stark in Season 6 to take back Winterfell while also nominating Snow as the new King of the North.

Back in August, Entertainment Weekly reported that "Game of Thrones" has also added Oscar-winning actor Jim Broadbent to its list of Season 7 guest stars. Broadbent's character description was also kept under wraps, but the publication teased that he will have a "significant" role in the fantasy series.

The British actor, known for playing Horace Slughorn in the "Harry Potter" film franchise, has also appeared on "Time Bandits," "Bridget Jones' Diary" and "Longford."

"Game of Thrones" Season 7 is slated to premiere in the summer of 2017 on HBO. The new season will have an abbreviated run, composing of only seven episodes.
