House Of The Dragon: Emily Carey Says There's Talk Of Bringing The Young Actors On For Season 2
House of the Dragon continues to be a smash hit, and the Game of Thrones prequel is making stars of some of its previously unknown actors. Among these rising actors is Emily Carey, who sat down for an interview to discuss her turn as Queen Alicent Hightower.
House of the Dragon has already had several time-jumps. Between episode 1 and 2, there was a six-month jump. Episode 2 and 3 went further with a 3-year time jump. By the time of episode 4, “King of the Narrow Sea,” four years have passed when Prince Daemon (Matt Smith) returns from his conquest of the Stepstones. Alicent and Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock) aren’t as close as they once were, and Alicent has borne King Viserys (Paddy Considine) two children, Aegon and Helaena.

Needless to say, the House of the Dragon story is moving at a very fast pace, and by episode six, many of the younger actors will have been replaced with older actors. Emily Carey's Alicent will be played by Olivia Cooke, while Alcock's rendition of Rhaenyra will be replaced by Emma D'Arcy. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Carey said she was surprised and happy to see how much time was devoted to the two characters’ youth, explaining that it is a very important part of the story for audiences to see. Given the popularity of Carey and Alcock's portrayals, Carey was asked if there was room for the two to return in flashbacks for season 2. Carey responded, “It’s been spoken about, conversations have happened, but, in all honesty, I know absolutely nothing and I have no idea. Of course, I would love to come back. It depends on how it’s received and where they want to take the show next. I’m just going with the flow!”
