The world of Westeros is set to expand with HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon, opening its doors to a new cast of characters in 2022.
In the lead-up to the show's release, HBO has been teasing fans with casting news and character descriptions for those featured in House of the Dragon's 10-episode first season, which is based on George R.R. Martin's novel Fire & Blood. The new series takes place 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones and is expected to tell the story of House Targaryen.
House Targaryen is responsible for giving us the Mother of Dragons herself, Daenerys Targaryen, and now there is a new lineup of characters emerging, ready to breathe fresh life into the onscreen Game of Thrones universe. Keep reading for our comprehensive rundown of who's playing who in HBO's House of the Dragon – and we'll keep this article updated with every new casting announcement.
Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen
Paddy Considine will step up to play King Viserys Targaryen, the fifth Targaryan king on the Iron Throne "chosen by the lords of Westeros to succeed the Old King, Jaehaerys Targaryen, at the Great Council at Harrenhal." He is described as "a warm, kind, and decent man" who "only wishes to carry forward his grandfather's legacy," however, HBO warns that "good men do not necessarily make for great kings."
Emma D'Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Elder Version)
Emma D'Arcy will transform into Targaryen royalty, as she poses as the elder version of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. The first images from the set of House of the Dragon spotlighted her as one of the key cast members pictured alongside Matt Smith's Prince Daemon Targaryen at an undisclosed beach location.
Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower (Elder Version)
Olivia Cooke has signed on to star as the elder version of Alicent Hightower. Collider notes that the relationship between Rhaenyra and Alicent sours to the point that they "become fierce rivals" in Fire & Blood, "both vying for the honor of claiming the throne for themselves and their own heirs."
