Last time actors Peter Dinklage and Charles Dance shared a scene, the latter met his demise via a crossbow to the stomach.

The pair, of course, played father and son Tyrion and Tywin Lannister in HBO’s critically acclaimed “Game of Thrones.”

With Dance long gone from the show, the actors will reportedly reunite to produce a brand-new series based on Victor Hugo’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the duo will produce “Quasimodo,” which was first introduced in the mainstream in Disney’s kid-friendly animated movie in 1996.

The series, however, will be loosely based on Victor Hugo’s 1831 gothic novel, which features a much darker side to the classic story.

As of this writing, it remains unclear if both actors will join the cast of the series, but the pair certainly fits the bill, with Dance suited to portray the evil  Monseigneur Claude Frollo and Dinklage the titular character.  Khristian Ibarrola /ra
