Your childhood returns

Nineties and early-noughties kids rejoice, because Cheez TV hosts — and bringers of school-age nostalgia — Jade Gatt and Ryan Lappin have been announced in the final batch of Supanova guest stars for this June's events in Sydney and Perth.

Also joining the line-up is Game Of ThronesEugene SimonBuffy the Vampire Slayer's Juliet Landau, and Sydney-exclusive guests, Benedict Samuel (The Walking Dead), Dean Haglund (The X-Files) and John Jarratt (Wolf Creek's iconic baddie, Mick Taylor).

Gatt and Lappin have recently emerged from our foggy 7am memories following a return to public consciousness and the launch of the pair's new podcast, The Jade & Ryan Show.

Simon, who plays Lancel Lannister, is sure to be a fan favourite for Game Of Thrones aficionados, while Landau (best known as Buffy antogonist Drusilla) is stepping in for her co-star Julie Benz, who has had to postpone her appearance until 2017.
