Milly Alcockone of the actresses who has already become a favorite of the audience will leave the series even before the end of the season. the house of the dragon will have to make a cast change and it won’t be because someone dies. The actress will be replaced, but she has an explanation.
The series will have a temporary jump and that will force to look for another actress who interprets the character of Rhaenyra Targaryens. It is surprising that it is a surprise, since HBO mentioned from the announcement of the series that the character would be represented by two actresses. Perhaps what is striking is that it happens in the first season.
Milly Alcock will yield the witness to Emma D’Arcy, who will play the adult version of Rhaenyra Targaryen. The same will happen with Alicent Hightowerwho is embodied by Emily Careybut then it will go to Olivia Cooke.
If we take into account that in Game of Thrones the flashbacks were scarce, it is likely that once there is the jump in time and both characters appear in their adult versions, we will not see Milly Alcock or Emily Carey on screen again. HBO has tried to make clear the importance of D’Arcy and Cooke, their faces have featured prominently in promotional campaigns for The House of the Dragon.
