Milly Alcock has provided an update on her status as Rhaenyra Targaryen for House of the Dragon season 2, and it's ultimately something of a letdown.
Milly Alcock has given an update on House of the Dragon season 2, and it's disappointing news when it comes to future Rhaenyra Targaryen storylines. Alcock played Rhaenyra through House of the Dragon season 1's first five episodes, before a time jump recast the role with Emma D'Arcy replacing her.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Unfortunately, those hopes have been dashed, as Alcock won't return for House of the Dragon season 2. Alcock was asked about reprising the role and gave a firm response, saying: "No. It's done." In a way, that makes sense and perhaps is not too surprising - after all, thanks to the recasts it means the story has very much moved on, with House of the Dragon season 2 ready to fully get into the Dance of the Dragons.
Alicent and Rhaenyra's relationship is the very heart of House of the Dragon's story. It is theirs more than anything else; it's intimate, it's personal, and it's tragic. Since it cannot have the adult actors return, then having the younger Rhaenyra and Alicent in House of the Dragon season 2 would have been an effective way of keeping that part of the story alive.
There are signs of what this could entail. For instance, a deleted scene of Alicent and Rhaenyra showed the latter helping the former get ready for her wedding to King Viserys . It looked like a poignant moment that really speaks to what they had and where things went wrong.
Milly Alcock Was Key To House Of The Dragon's Success While it's disappointing there won't be a return of Milly Alcock and Emily Carey, it's nonetheless worth remembering just how important they were to House of the Dragon's success. Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cooke will take those characters forward until their stories end, which is exciting in its own right, but the Game of Thrones spinoff would not have been the hit it was without the performances of Alcock and Carey.
