DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Spanish star Antonio Banderas and Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams are among the actors to attend a gala event hosted by TV network OSN in Dubai on October 12.

They will walk the red carpet at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray ahead of an event experience to announce OSNโ€™s 2016 programming line-up. The gala will be hosted by Bassem Yousuf with Arab stars Hayat Al Fahad and Ahmad Helmy also in attendance.

After a long career as a film star โ€” with roles in films as varied as Desperado, Shrek and the upcoming take of the Chilean miners, The 33, in his portfolio โ€” Banderas is joining other Hollywood stars making the move to the small screen. He is due to star in and executive produce Havana Quartet, a Cuba-set drama in which he plays a detective. The show is currently in development.

Williams, meanwhile, made a name for herself as Arya Stark in the hit fantasy show from HBO based on George R.R. Martinโ€™s novels. Sheโ€™ll also appear in another genre hit this winter, joining Peter Capaldi in two episodes of long-running British sci-fi show Doctor Who. The first, The Girl Who Died, is due to screen in the UK on October 17.
