As the last season of Game of Thrones gets ready to wrap up with the highly-anticipated and overly discussed series finale this weekend, the sprawling cast might be starting to eye their next acting opportunities. Reese Witherspoon seems to think one character in particular would be a perfect fit to join her own crew on Big Little Lies.
Witherspoon took to Twitter to share her thoughts on actress Lena Heady, who plays Cersei on Game of Thrones, becoming a member of the Monterey Six. Her post, which features a picture of Cersei photoshopped into the murderous mom crew, reads “I’m just saying… she’d fit in really well in Monterey.”

Of course the post is only a joke, but fans can dream of the popcorn-worthy digs that Cersei Lannister would bring to the table. There is a real new addition coming to the cast, that’s equally as exciting, however, with Meryl Streep taking on the role of Perry’s mother.
The new season of Big Little Lies premieres on HBO on Jun. 9, just in time to help you get over the grief of saying goodbye to Game of Thrones.
