Following her debut in the romantic comedy TV series Wonderland, Milly Alcock had her big break in the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon. Based on George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, the series is set almost two centuries before the Emmy-winning drama series. Alcock initially portrayed young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, a role that was later succeeded by Emma D’Arcy in the first season.
Alcock has earned critical acclaim, emerging as a standout in the series. Fans of the show have been anticipating her return in the upcoming season, but the actress has refuted any such possibilities.
Milly Alcock Will Not Reprise Her Role in House of the Dragon Season 2
Milly Alcock has received widespread acclaim for her portrayal of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in the HBO drama House of the Dragon. Her exceptional performance even earned the actress a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the 2023 Critics’ Choice Television Awards.
As the series prepares for its second season, there have been rumors that the 23-year-old Australian actress could potentially reprise her role as Rhaenyra Targaryen. Speculations suggest that a young Rhaenyra Targaryen could appear in the show through flashback scenes.
However, the Reckoning actress has firmly denied such claims, stating, “No. It’s done,” according to Deadline. Although she shared that her journey with the HBO drama is concluded, The Gloaming actress has acknowledged the impact it has had on her life and career.
She shared that the series has given her opportunities to do the wonderful and amazing things she wants to do as an actress. “It changed my life very quicklym and it will never be the same again,” she said. And one such opportunity could also be playing the role of a superhero in James Gunn’s DCU.
