Emma D’Arcy discussed what it was like to film the Game of Thrones prequel, the House of the Dragon, and how not being a fan of the original series actually helped them get the role.
The star plays Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in the series, which is set about 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones.
They got the call offering them the role at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic had resulted in most work drying up entirely. “It was very strange timing.
I was just really delighted at having something to do again,” they told The i. D’Arcy also admitted that they had never seen Game of Thrones and added that this may have been a good thing.
