HBO's Game of Thrones has fans dying in massive anticipation for its fourth season, which isn't due to kick off on the cable network until next season.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the part of Oberyn Martell has now been filled for the next installment, and will be played by Pedro Pascal. The Chilean actor is predominantly known for his roles in Graceland and The Good Wife, amongst other notable appearances.

The character of Oberyn is often coined the Red Viper, who holds a strong animosity against the Lannisters. He's described by producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff as "sexy and charming, yet unbelievably dangerous; intensely likeable, yet driven by hate. The boys love him, the girls love him, and he loves them all back," stated the site.

Due to the aforementioned information, it appears as though King's Landing is up for a drastic change.

Although no official airdate has yet to be revealed, HBO's Game of Thrones is set to premiere Season 4 at some point in late March or the early April of 2014. Be sure to keep checking back for more of the latest details on the popular TV series.
