House of the Dragon is returning for Season 2 and the cast is teasing what viewers can expect when the show returns to HBO on June 16.
Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, and Matt Smith talked to Deadline and teased what is ahead for the fantasy drama, with Smith revealing that the show will be more like its older sibling.
For Cooke, who plays Queen Alicent Hightower, returning for the second season of the George R.R. Martin-created series was like a homecoming.
“We know the characters inside out, and we’re sort of going back home, in a way,” Cooke told us. “We’re not afraid of the text or afraid of the big sets that are sort of home away from home.”
Cooke teases that in Season 2, Queen Alicent Hightower leaves the castle with the actor saying, “That was huge for me. I went to Spain. I went to Wales and I went to Surrey.

Being so popular around the world for so many years has its own advantages and disadvantages for Doctor Who. On the one hand, the show has already spawned many successful series with many new actors. On the other hand, the moment the fan-favorite actor leaves the show, the fans begin their war against whoever comes next.
This was the case in 2010 when fans of the 10th Doctor, played by David Tennant, rioted against his successor, Matt Smith. The actor was only 26 when he took over the role of the centuries-old alien, so viewers doubted he could pull it off. His predecessor, however, was much friendlier, and way more helpful.
David Tennant’s Doctor Who Advice
Having played the Doctor for 5 years at this point, David Tennant was already a pro in the fast-moving environment of the BBC show. Since the show was produced and broadcast exclusively in the UK prior to Matt Smith's arrival,...

After building its characters’ relationships in season one, season two of HBO’s House of the Dragon will see its leads flung across Westeros — much to the disappointment of its close-knit cast.
The second season of the Game of Thrones prequel will continue to chronicle the House Targaryen civil war, as Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), Prince Daemon (Matt Smith) and their Dragonstone forces face off against Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and her children for claim of the Iron Throne. But that means the stars were often off shooting their own individual storylines this year, rather than group scenes together.
At the show’s New York premiere on Monday, D’Arcy admitted filming without Smith and Cooke was “kind of lonely” but noted, “There’s so many beautiful actors on the show, it’s an ever-mutating thing. Certainly, I think it’ll make the active viewership kind of more exciting because there are so...

*Warning — this review contains some spoilers for 'Boom'*
Ever since Ncuti Gatwa took over the Tardis keys to become Doctor Who’s Fifteenth Doctor, things have been pretty non-stop for everybody’s favourite Time Lord. From playing cosmic catch with Neil Patrick Harris’ Toymaker in 60th anniversary special debut ‘The Giggle’, to scat-battling a goblin king with new companion Ruby Sunday (Gibson) in Christmas outing ‘The Church On Ruby Road’, to run-ins with space babies, bogeymen, Beatles, and the celestial embodiment of music itself in 'Space Babies' and 'The Devil's Chord', there’s barely been a moment for the Doctor — or indeed the show’s viewers — to take a breath. All of that changes with ‘Boom’, a stripped back, slowed down, and cheek-clenchingly suspenseful character study from former Who showrunner — and Weeping Angels creator — Steven Moffat.

With the death of King Viserys and Prince Lucerys in House of the Dragon season 1, both factions are grieving as we dive into the next season. Emotions are spilling over the edge on both sides even as they gear up for war. Daemon Targaryen, who needs to be a rock for his wife Rhaenyra, is himself falling apart as the past catches up to him.
Matt Smith claims that Daemon acts like a crazy person in the upcoming season as he is struggling to feel grief and come to terms with his brother’s death. The power struggle is secondary since in hindsight, Viserys always trusted and had confidence in Daemon. Having lost him, Daemon also feels a bit hazy about his future.

With June 16 just around the corner, Team Black and Team Green are all geared up to claim the Iron Throne. In a panel discussion to kick off the New York premiere of House of the Dragon, the cast and showrunner Ryan Condal sat down to answer some burning questions.
Talking about the looming war and the preceding power shift at King’s Landing, actress Olivia Cooke claimed that her character has been forced into early retirement. Alicent’s purpose in life, as set by her father, was to further the reputation of her house and consolidate power. Now, with her son as the King of Seven Kingdoms, she feels useless as she has achieved her purpose and now has nothing to do.
The Dowager Queen has lost a fair share of power and is struggling to find her footing. Condal further praised Cooke for her incredible work in bringing the character to life.

The Game of Thrones prequel House of Dragon has so far had a good run and has quickly become one of the best fantasy shows of all time. Created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal, the show takes place nearly 200 years before the events of the original series. Featuring how the House Targaryen lost its influence and the war of succession that followed, the show nonetheless has had spectacular reviews and reactions.

Yet there have been moments and events that fans found issues with. One of the most significant issues of the series is the development of Matt Smith’s Daemon Targaryen, which fans have to view more as hero-like. But in an interview, Condal clarified he is not like Han Solo-like character.

A dragon emerging from the floorboard is quite difficult to forget, as the time Rhaenys Targaryen let Meleys go in the Dragonpit at the conclusion of House of the Dragon Episode 9, “The Green Council.” It’s difficult to top good ol’ dragon action, even if the sequence was a true standout in a presentation full of memorable, dramatic set pieces. But she spares the Greens, and many fans still blame her to this day.

The battles will continue in Season 2 of House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel brought to fans by creator George R.R. Martin, and the war of the great houses will rages on in the first full-length House of the Dragon Season 2 trailer. Fights on dragon back and family in-fighting with both the Targaryens and Hightowers define the thrilling nearly three-minute trailer dropped on Tuesday, May 14 by HBO (see below). But it’s the tension between Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and Daemon (Matt Smith) that stands out the most. “Do you accept me as your queen and ruler?” Rhaenyra asks her husband, her voice shaking. When Daemon can’t answer, her look is one of shock and anger. House of the Dragon Season 2 premieres Sunday, June 16 at 9/8c on HBO (streaming on Max).

One of the most attractive qualities of Doctor Who is the fact that the show constantly changes the actors who play the main roles of the Doctor himself and his companions. While some may find the recasting annoying, as the actors whose characters you liked leave the show forever, others find that this change is what keeps the show interesting.

We are all set to return to the world of Targaryen politics soon with House of the Dragon Season 2. The Matt Smith prequel series, set 200 years before Game of Thrones, has garnered widespread praise after its premiere in late 2022.
House of the Dragon Season 2 raised several headlines when it continued its filming and was completed in time even after facing the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. However, it faced another significant issue when co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik left the show. According to a recent interview by Matt Smith, fans will feel Sapochnik’s absence in the second season.

After the Game of Thrones Season 8 debacle, fans had given up all hope from the franchise. George R. R. Martin’s creation, often considered one of the best works in fantasy, lost fans very quickly. But out came House of the Dragon to the rescue, and proved that his works can stand even the toughest of times.

Though Game of Thrones was criticized for going off the rails, way more than Martin would have liked, the prequel show House of the Dragon has taken its own liberties as well. But so far, these have worked in favor of the showrunners, as the response has been largely positive.
One of the changes made to the Targaryen conflict was the initial contender against Viserys at the beginning of the saga. Though Rhaenys is presented as a prime candidate, Martin’s Fire & Blood chose someone else.

The 13th series of Doctor Who turned out to be almost the most problematic in the show's history. Even before it started, fans were divided into two camps – those who supported the creators' decision to make the Doctor a woman, and those who did not.

House of the Dragon co-creator Ryan Condal had Matt Smith’s face in mind when he wrote the role of Daemon Targaryen in the series. Soon, he met with Smith to discuss the role along with co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik in 2020. Smith agreed to the role but he had his concerns about the series. He was worried that the series came too soon after Game of Thrones ended and that audiences had already seen this story.

In 2011, HBO embarked on a mega-prospect to adapt George R.R. Martin’s fantasy novels into live-action. A production that started off with grounded ambition soon took flight to become one of the world’s most recognizable and acclaimed series of such genre, at least for most of it. Starring the likes of Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, and Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones went on to rule global charts. However, the process of creating this behemoth did not come easy and did involve certain challenges, forcing changes.

It’s quite hard to believe that we have lived through a time when wearing masks and being vaccinated was as necessary as oxygen to breathe. The Covid-19 pandemic shut down various systems and threatened to disrupt entire industries. So, when Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal envisioned a Game of Thrones spinoff show focusing on the Targaryens, they knew they had to act fast and see what becomes of it. Matt Smith was one of the first actors they thought of.
HBO was not too keen on monopolizing the Westeros universe. They felt that the story needed new angles and perspectives. Subsequently, HBO canceled the other spinoff titled Bloodmoon after it reportedly went over budget. House of the Dragon was a saving grace since it would give fans something refreshing while ensuring success for the channel.

House of the Dragon season 2 is perched on the precipice of greatness. The latest Matt Smith interview by Variety also suggests the same.
The actor dives into the intricacies of his character and how Daemon Targaryen has changed from the first season. Playing such a tough and complex character must have been an uphill battle but Smith has made it look seamlessly easy. However, Daemon’s relationship with Rhaenyra is the one under duress in the latest House of the Dragon season.

Showrunner Miguel Sapochnik was sort of a bridge between the shows Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. He knew the ins and outs of the Westerosi narrative and oversaw the production of both shows. He even directed six episodes of Game of Thrones.
However, a recent report suggested that Sapochnik has left House of the Dragon because the show decided not to invite his wife into the production team. He has been a great asset to House of the Dragon team since he knew how to bring such a grand show to life with resonance.

The relevance of Game of Thrones in modern pop culture has, by definition, changed and revolutionized the concept of entertainment television and epic storytelling. Although the era of limited vision and critical thinking might be taking a back seat, the unpredictably unsatisfying ending to Season 8 of the HBO series still exists under heightened scrutiny and constant debate.

And yet, the prophecy about the Prince that was promised never came true and Aegon Targaryen was lost to the North of the Wall rather than reclaiming his seat at the Iron Throne.

House of the Dragon focuses on The Dance of the Dragons, a story that tells of the Targaryen Civil War between the Blacks and Greens. The war was made up of the various battles that occurred in Westeros over a number of years. Matt Smith‘s Daemon Targaryen and Ewan Mitchell‘s Aemond Targaryen, who will be two of the main characters in Season 2, are the two most well-known fighters from the two sides. Smith recently teased a face-off between the two.
Daemon will be much “weaker” in House of the Dragon Season 2
Daemon has always been known to be an agent of chaos, infamous for being stern, unpredictable, and dangerous. However, Season 2 will mellow him down. Smith told Variety in a recent interview:
“We definitely meet Daemon at a point of crisis in this situation, and in many ways, it’s a different version of him. It’s one that’s much weaker.

After directing Thor: The Dark World, filmmaker Alan Taylor moved on to Terminator Genisys. Released in 2015, it's widely considered the worst movie in the sci-fi franchise's storied history. Meant to serve as a reboot, it introduced a new timeline created when Skynet attempted to kill Sarah Connors as a child.
In the movie's big twist, we learned that Skynet had transformed Jason Clarke's John Connor into a Terminator-hybrid. Joining him in the cast were Emilia Clarke as Sarah, Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as a T-800 dubbed "Pops."
Despite being heavily featured in bizarre promo photos, House of the Dragon star Matt Smith made a relatively minor appearance as the advanced T-5000 Terminator who embodies Skynet, and it sounds like shooting his scenes was a bemusing experience for the British actor.

On “House of the Dragon,” HBO’s fantasy epic that takes place two centuries before “Game of Thrones,” Matt Smith plays Daemon, a warrior prince who exists among fire-breathing reptiles and palace intrigue. But if his character were ever to leap deeper into the supernatural, Smith has some ideas about where he could go. “I think Daemon would make a really good vampire,” he says. “I can imagine him wandering the earth alone for all eternity.”
He certainly has the coloring: Pallid and platinum-blonde, Daemon looks as if he could have arrived in the forbidding and dark world of Westeros all the way from Transylvania. But he might be too hotblooded to play the vampire. And “House of the Dragon” — a prequel to the Emmy-gobbling, earth-shattering hit “Game of Thrones,” set during the reign of the incestuous Targaryen dynasty — is unlikely to pivot into creature horror.
