LONDON, May 5 (UPI) -- Maisie Williams has spilled the beans concerning the return of a long-lost character on Game of Thrones.

Speaking with BBC Radio 1 Thursday, the actress tentatively confirmed that youngest Stark sibling Rickon would be appearing on the hit fantasy drama once again.

"Ye-es," she replied when asked whether or not fans would be receiving an update on Rickon during the currently airing Season 6.

"Yes. Maybe," she continued before just outright admitting to his return. "Yes, we will indeed... Oh no, I'm literally going to get off the air and someone's going to email me!" Williams joked.

Rickon was last seen during Season 3 splitting off from older brother Bran Stark with his direwolf Shaggydog and wildling protector Osha.

The cast of Game of Thrones have a history of being asked about and confirming the returns of certain characters, most famously by new cast-member Ian McShane who teased in March the return of fan-favorite warrior The Hound.

Williams last made headlines in April when she crashed a fan's Game of Thrones viewing party during the Season 6 premiere.
