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. Six years after he loses his eye, Aemond has become a practiced warrior and a strong antagonist to his nephews Jace and Luke, with his style looking awfully similar to his uncle Daemon. Mitchell previously appeared in the A24 film High Life and the TV series The Halycon and World on Fire, though he's best known for playing Osferth in The Last Kingdom.

Will There Be a House of the Owl Season 2 Release Date & Is It Coming Out?

Although Rhaenyra Targaryen has not taken the Iron Throne, and she may never will, she has been referred to by the title of queen given how she contests the rule of her half-brother Aegon I Targaryen. King Viserys Targaryen served as the central figure of House of the Dragon, as much of the Game of Thrones prequel revolved around the issue of succession and specifically who would inherit the Iron Throne after his passing. Otto gathers the great houses of Westeros to affirm their allegiance. After Rhaenyra cuts short her tour of Westeros, Daemon introduces the princess to the Street of Silk after dark.

Sonoya Mizuno plays Mysaria

The first season of the prequel includes a time jump, with young Rhaenyra played by Australian actress Alcock. She's starred in several Australian drama series, and received the Casting Guild of Australia's Rising Star Award in 2018. House of the Dragon is an American fantasy drama television series created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal for HBO.

Eve Best plays Princess Rhaenys Targaryen

However, this relationship diminished greatly once Alicent, with pressure from her father, began spending more time with the king after his first wife's death, eventually leading to their marriage. From Episode 6 onwards, Rhaenyra Targaryen was played by Emma D'Arcy, with the heir to the Iron Throne now having three bastard children - Princes Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey - who were fathered by Ser Harwin Strong. Just as Game of Thrones featured one of the biggest casts ever brought to television, the prequel series House of the Dragon delivered yet another impressive ensemble of top-tier talent.

Phil Daniels is best known for his iconic lead role in the film Quadrophenia and also for his turn as Kevin Wicks in EastEnders. Daniels has also appeared in The Class of Miss MacMichael, Breaking Glass, New Tricks and Rock & Chips. The Welsh actor is best known for his roles as Dave Coaches in Gavin & Stacey and as Reg Cattermole in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.

Season 1 is streaming now on Max along with all eight seasons of Game of Thrones. Martin's books, including Fire & Blood and the rest of A Song of Ice and Fire, are available in print, digital and audiobook formats. Gwayne actually jousted against Ser Criston Cole in the book version, so there's no telling what other changes are coming for his character. Gwayne is the eldest son of Otto Hightower, Hand of the King. He will need to take the field on his family's behalf in the war to come. Alys is living at Harrenhal working as a wet nurse when the war comes to the Riverlands.

Phia Saban has also starred in the historical drama The Last Kingdom. Campbell has had roles in Midsomer Murders, Home from Home, and The Last Dragonslayer. As an adult, Rhaena is betrothed to her step-brother Prince Lucerys Velaryon. Antonia has appeared in two Netflix series, Get Even and Stay Close. Mitchell is best known for his role as Osferth in The Last Kingdom but has also had roles in Trigger Point, World on Fire, and The Halycon. Tennant has had roles in Doom Patrol, War of the Worlds, and Tolkien.

Vincent Regan joins the cast as Ser Rickard Thorne – a character that we should already have met by now. Rickard is a member of the Kingsguard, the elite knights in white cloaks constantly lurking behind the king and the royal family. He is loyal to Aegon II and is at King's Landing, opposing Rhaenyra and her claim to the throne. Hugh's friend and fellow dragonseed Ulf White will be played by Tom Bennett. Like Hugh, Ulf has no surname so he is called Ulf the White or simply Ulf White because of his pale white hair.

Before George R.R. Martin’s Westeros endured the Game of Thrones, Aegon the Conquerer set up his House of Targaryen to rule the Seven Kingdoms. Now, HBO is gearing up to show us the mayhem that happened when this house splintered into two sides that each claimed the Iron Throne. In one corner, Rhaenyra Targaryen had been named rightful heir by her father. On the other side, Aegon Targaryen II had been erroneously elevated to king after his wife, Alicent Hightower, mistakenly interpreted King Viserys’ deathbed ramblings.

Clinton Liberty is a 25-year-old Irish actor with a strong background in dance. He has made a number of movie and TV appearances, including notably the ITV adaptation of Graham Norton's novel Holding. He starred alongside Game of Thrones alum Conleth Hill in that project.

Leo Hart played the young version of Prince Jacaerys in the earlier parts of the show. Former Lord Commander of the Kingsguard Ser Harrold Westerling is one of the most honorable men at court. Cruelly nicknamed "The Clubfoot" on account of his physical disability, Larys is still a very impactful member of court who is clued into the latest goings-on in Westeros. Across season one he develops a secretive alliance with Alicent, putting him in a very powerful position.

She was a contender for the crown following King Jaehaerys' death, and had a stronger claim than Viserys, but since she was a woman she was passed over. She's now known as "the Queen Who Never Was," though her son Laenor can be a serious contender for the throne following Viserys' death. The heart of House of the Dragon lies with Rhaenyra, the rebellious crown princess and dragonrider. Though she's expected to raise heirs rather than be one, she's also a growing tactician who has her own ambition for the throne. When her father breaks centuries of tradition and names her as heir, it precedes a clash for the crown that sets off a Targaryen civil war.

Jacaerys stands to inherit the Iron Throne after Rhaenyra and works hard to ensure he will be a respected ruler when the time comes. David Tennant's son Ty Tennant played the younger version of Aegon earlier in the series. Aegon was Viserys and Alicent's first child together, making him the heir to Viserys' throne in many people's eyes. However, he is seemingly indifferent to his responsibilities, preferring instead to drink and harass women working in the castle.
