As well as appearing in several theater productions, D’Arcy had been lighting up our televisions for years before they debuted — to much acclaim — as an all-grown-up Rhaenyra Targaryen from House of the Dragon episode 6 onward. Rhaenyra is one of the most important House of the Dragon characters, and D’Arcy is up to the challenge. They did a tremen...
For the first five episodes of House of the Dragon, Milly Alcock’s portrayal of the young Rhaenyra Targaryen was a highlight, as she grappled with the implications of being officially named as her father’s heir to the Iron Throne. Although her time in one of the best fantasy seriesaround today was brief, it’s clear her star is on the rise. Unfortun...
Olivia Cooke might be in it for the long haul when it comes to House of the Dragon. She played the aged-up Alicent Hightower from episode 6 onward, and there’s plenty more story for her to tell as she faces off against her childhood friend Rhaenyra in the name of their respective families’ legacies. You probably know Cooke best from her work in the...
Emily Carey enchanted audiences as a younger, more sympathetic Alicent Hightower in the first five episodes of House of the Dragon, forming an uncomfortable bond with King Viserys that ultimately leads to marriage. This is Westeros and so we basically never get a healthy relationship between two adults. Carey’s chemistry with Milly Alcock makes the...
Half of the internet seems to see him as a sort of problematic boyfriend, but there’s no denying that Daemon Targaryen is an evil piece of shit. He might have a little seductive energy to him, but he’s not shy to swing a sword and he’s constantly plotting against just about everybody. Even his own brother couldn’t stand him most of the time. This i...
Viserys Targaryen wasn’t a great king, but he was a rare example of a Targaryen who wasn’t a completely nightmarish psychopath. They’re as rare as unicorns. The first season of House of the Dragon followed Viserys as he declined in health, right up until his eventual death. But the reason Viserys worked so brilliantly as a character was the man beh...
As Viserys’ scheming Hand of the King, Otto Hightower is the second most powerful man in the Seven Kingdoms. Rhys Ifans brings slithering intensity and quiet menace to the role. Otto’s power is limited by the man on the actual throne, but his ambitions seem to know no bounds. He conspired to marry his daughter to Viserys so that his grandchildren c...
With his unhinged scheming and ambition, Larys Strong makes Littlefinger look like Winnie the Pooh. He also gave us one of the most uncomfortable scenes in the entire first season of House of the Dragon, based around his more unconventional desires involving the queen. Larys knows just how to get under our skin. Any good villain needs a level of th...
The legendary Sea Snake, Corlys Velaryon, is set to play a major role in House of the Dragon. Fans of the books know that Corlys ends up aligning with Rhaenyra Targaryen, later adopting the title Hand of the Queen. He’s picked his side for the battle to come and, with his mastery of the waves, he looks set to be a valuable ally to Rhaenyra and her ...
If you think you can’t handle rejection well, you can comfort yourself by remembering that you can, at least, handle it better than Criston Cole. He went from forlorn lover to bitter incel pretty fast, with a bloody temper. That makes him great fun to watch, but a nightmare to live with. It’s a testament to actor Fabian Frankel that the character h...
