Emilia Clarke Gets New Beau With Game Of Thrones Season 4 Recasting: HBO Series Breaks Doctor Who Streak At Hugo Awards

"Game of Thrones" is filming season 4, and it appears Emilia Clarke will get a new love interest, at least in the form of a new actor.

As previously reported, Dutch actor Michiel Huisman will join the cast by taking over the role of Daario Naharis, who was played by Ed Skrein in season 3.

According to Digital Spy, Naharis will join Daenerys, played by Emilia Clarke, in her attempt to retake the throne, and season 3 ended with potential sparks flying between the two.

With Huisman, this marks the second recasting of a role in "Game of Thrones" season 4.

Last week, WinterIsComing.net reported another recasting: King Joffrey's little brother Tommen Baratheon was being recast by the slightly older Dean-Charles Chapman in "Game of Thrones" season 4. 

Joffrey's little brother may not have had a big role in the series so far, but actor Callum Wharry will reportedly not be returning for season 4 after portraying the character in season 1 and 2 of "Game of Thrones."

According to Hypable, actor Dean-Charles Chapman, who played a young squire captured by Robb Stark that was killed by the Karstarks in season 3.

Reportedly, this is an attempt to age the character appropriately, an issue that will plague a lot of the young cast members potentially in the future.

Meanwhile, "Game of Thrones" is proving its massive appeal by trumping "Doctor Who" at the 2013 Hugo Awards for "Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form."

George R.R. Martin accepted the award, which has gone to "Doctor Who" in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2012.

Held at LoneStarCon 3 in San Antonio, Texas, the 2013 Hugo Awards also awarded "The Avengers" for "Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form.
