1923 has added a face from Game of Thrones to its cast. Joseph Mawle is joining Helen Mirren, Harrison Ford, Robert Patrick, Jennifer Ehle, Jerome Flynn, James Badge Dale, Sebastian Roché, Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, and Aminah Nieves in the cast of the Yellowstone spin-off.

1923 follows another generation of the Dutton family on their journey to Yellowstone. The series currently airs on Paramount+ and has already been renewed through season two.

Per Variety, Mawle will play “Captain Shipley, described as ‘the captain of a British cargo ship, who has seen a lot during his years at sea.’”

Mawle played Adar, the villainous leader of the Orcs, in the first season of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. It was announced earlier this month that Mawle was exiting the series, and was replaced in the role by Sam Hazeldine. In a series of tweets, Mawle indicated that he left the show by his own choice.

Best to cast and crew for S2, I’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines X
