Rami Malek and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will both be involved in scripted podcasts that are in the works!
Rami is set to reprise his role in season two of the apocalyptic thriller podcast Blackout, which is made by QCode. He plays “Simon Itani, a small-town radio DJ fighting to protect his family and community after the power grid goes down nationwide, upending modern civilization.”
Deadline reports that Aja Naomi King will be joining the cast for season two and a TV series based on the podcast is in the works. It’s not yet know if Rami will be involved in that project.
The first season of Blackout has been downloaded more than 12 million times!
Nikolaj was just cast in the podcast Mask of Sanity, which will stream on Audible later this year. The podcast is “a serial killer story based on a true story from Bulgarian journalist, Dimiter Kenarov,” according to Deadline.
The Game of Thrones alum is co-producing the podcast, which “follows the story of a journalist reporting on a serial killer, but with a secret of his own.”
A couple weeks ago, Rami made headlines when a celeb told a story about him!
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has lined up another television role, Deadline reports.
The 50-year-old former Game of Thrones star is set to star and executive produce a drama series based on Christina Clancy‘s novel, “The Second Home”.
The series is set to follow two families – the Gordons and the Shaws – during a fateful summer on Cape Cod.
Told through two generations, the story explores how a devastating secret can derail young love, tear apart families, and change the fate of countless individuals forever if they let it.
Just a few weeks ago, it was revealed that Game of Thrones is on the path to become a Broadway play, and Nikolaj is excited about it!
“Where can I get a ticket?” he tweeted out after the news was announced.
Emilia Clarke‘s character Daenerys Targaryen is raped in season one of Game of Thrones by her husband Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) and her co-star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is now speaking out about the controversial scene.
In the books, the scene is actually written as consensual, but the pilot episode clearly features a sexual assault.
“For Emilia to play that in Series One was really tough and degrading, because what that character goes through is horrific,” he told the Times of London. “She’s sold to a guy who rapes her, but her way of getting through that is a massive journey, right?”
“Cersei, too, was never looked upon as an equal to her brother just because of gender. But then she rises to the top,” he added. “And you could argue that the way those two women turned out was because of being raised in this horrific way.”
There was recently some Game of Thrones news that fans will really enjoy!

When asked if he was surprised that some fans wanted a more dramatic death for Jaime, he said: “I didn’t follow it at all. [Pauses.] Obviously, I heard about it.”
“I was aware of the petition for a new ending, which I thought was hilarious. I almost wanted to donate to that petition. HBO saying, ‘You’re right, so many people want it, we’re going to do it.’ I think everyone had their own opinion. I find the world of fandom really interesting. Everyone wanted something specific and different from what they got. It’s a combination of — you imagine an ending; but also, I think if you’re a hardcore fan, it was really upsetting that it ended. You lived with this for eight seasons. There is still a massive community dedicated to Game of Thrones. I think there was a real fear that was going to go away. It had to end.”
When asked if he would do anything differently with the ending, he said: “Oh, how did it end? He was — no, it was fine. It was great. It was fine. How do you end that story? Let’s talk about this in 10 years, then you can talk about it. But now, I think it’s a little too recent.”
Just recently, the trailer for Nikolaj‘s upcoming movie, The Silencing, debuted. You can watch it now on JustJared.com!
