Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) is one tough mama on Game of Thrones, but was she always as cold and ruthless as she is now on the HBO hit series? Looks like we're about to find out! According to reports, the show cast Nell Williams in the role of young Cersei Lannister...and you know what that means...flashbacks are coming!

It will no doubt be crazy to see a version of Cersei who isn't weighed down by her love for her twin brother or the death of her sociopathic son or the mandates of her cruel father. But what will this certain flashback entail?

No spoilers for all you non-book readers, but the flashback reportedly will show a young Cersei and a friend of hers visiting with an older woman called Maggy the Frog.

HBO had no comment.

Here's what we do know for sure about the new season so far: Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran Stark) and Kristian Nairn (Hodor) won't appear at all, a whole slew of new faces will be introduced, flashbacks will be shown for the first time ever and fans will get to meet a brand-new character that isn't in the books, played by Lost alum Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

Game of Thrones season five will premiere in spring 2015.
