The Fabio-resembling sellsword Khaleesi's love interest is going to look a little different next year.

After it was reported that Dutch actor Michiel Huisman ("Nashville," "Treme") was cast in an unknown role for Season 4 of "Game of Thrones", The Hollywood Reporter writes that Huisman will replace Ed Skrein, who played Daario Naharis in Season 3.

Skrein's character first appeared towards the end of Season 3, as a sellsword who pledged his loyalty to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke). HBO has kept the replacement under wraps, writes THR, and there is no word on why Skrein is being replaced.

This isn't the first time that a role has been recast on the popular HBO medieval fantasy. 

Earlier this month, the young actor who played Tommen Baratheon, the youngest son of Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) was replaced by significantly older actor Dean-Charles Chapman. Chapman had actually already appeared in Season 3, in an albeit minor role. Tommen will have a much larger role as the series progresses, which may be the reason for the recasting.

The actor who played Beric Dondarrion in Season 1, David Michael Scott, was replaced with Richard Dormer in Season 3. This recasting wasn't a huge deal in terms of continuity, as the character only made a brief appearance in Season 1 and was a significant part of Season 3.

Former professional wrestler Conan Stevens, who portrayed "The Mountain" Gregor Clegane in Season 1, was replaced by Ian Whyte in Season 2. The character hasn't been a huge part of the show compared to his brother "The Hound" Sandor Clegane (Rory McCann), but he will be featured in Season 4, especially since he shares a particularly memorable scene with Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal) in the third book. 

Season 3 garnered 16 Emmy nominations this year, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Writing, and Best Supporting Actor and Actress for Peter Dinklage and Emilia Clarke. This is Dinklage's third nomination for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister (Dinklage won the award in 2011) and the first for Clarke.

Season 4 of "Game of Thrones" is currently in production and is expected to premiere in Spring 2014.
