Game of Thrones vet Carice van Houten previews her new show Red Light

Carice van Houten (Melisandre) drops a teaser for her new show, and Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane) defends himself from Bitcoin scammers.

Game of Thrones?veteran Carice van Houten (Melisandre) isn’t keeping idle in quarantine. She recently uploaded a teaser for her upcoming Dutch-language show?Red Light, about three women involved in the worlds of prostitution and sex trafficking. Take a look:

Van Houten and fellow star?Halina Reijn are both creative producers on the show, which will air on Dutch TV this year.

Van Houten isn’t the only?Game of Thrones?star making waves on social media, although the others are taking it a little easier. For example, Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) gave us an inside look at her quarantine hair-care routine:

On a more serious note, Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane) is defending himself after his likeness has been misappropriated as part of a Bitcoin scam in Norway:

THIS IS FALSE! I'm tired of being abused in bitcoin advertising – please stop. If you come across this on social media please report it. My agency Panorama Agency states: ?We have been made aware that the likeness of Kristofer Hivju has been misused in a bitcoin scam in Norway. They, and other involved parties including @nrk and @tv2norge are working on getting the fake article removed. Lawyers are involved from all parties. Panorama Agency wants to make it clear that this is false advertisement and a false story and is something neither Hivju nor the Agency has any part in.? @panoramaagency ?Dette er ren svindel. Jeg har aldri invesetert i Bitcoin og kommer ikke til a? gj?re. Na? ma? det v?re nok, v?r sa? snill a? slutt. ? Sier Kristofer Hivju Panorama states: "This has happened without our knowledge and without our consent. We, therefore, want to warn people about this deception which is nothing more than a fictitious tale with the intent of defrauding people of their money." On Facebook and other commercial spots, several articles have been circulating about the alleged bitcoin service. The advertisement is followed by a deceitful article that seems to come from NRK, the Norwegian Broadcasting Company. This is NOT the case. The advertisement links to a scam website address (roopede.com) which further tries to cheat people out of personal and private information. Contact: [email protected]

“We have been made aware that the likeness of Kristofer Hivju has been misused in a bitcoin scam in Norway,” reads a statement from the Panorama Agency, which represents Hivju. “Panorama Agency wants to make it clear that this is false advertisement and a false story and is something neither Hivju nor the Agency has any part in.”

Weirdly, this isn’t the first time the likeness of a?Game of Thrones?star has been used without permission to try and sell Bitcoin; it happened to Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) a while back.

Finally, just so we end on a slightly happier note, Maisie Williams posted a pair of photos, of “me and my inner?saboteur”:

There’s no particular reason to post these; I just miss walking around outside.
