CNN —“House of the Dragon” star Emily Carey is reacting to actress Olivia Cooke now stepping in to reign as the series takes a time jump. Cooke and Emma D’Arcy will now play the adult versions of their characters, Queen Alicent Hightower and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. Carey and actress Milly Alcock departed the series after five episodes. Before the new episode debuted on HBO, Carey complimented Cooke, writing, “Tune in to House of the Dragon tonight to FINALLY see what @livkatecooke & @emmaziadarcy do what they do best.”She also shared a photo of herself as Alicent alongside Cooke’s older version. “House of the Dragon” airs on HBO, which like CNN is part of Warner Bros.

☆ 'House of the Dragon' plays a less-addictive game for an earlier throne

(CNN) HBO has followed the majesty of "Game of Thrones" with what might be called "games of throne" in "House of the Dragon," a series whose epic visual grandeur belies a smaller and less addictive power struggle, more narrowly focused on the Targaryen line. It's not bad, and there are dragons aplenty, but it doesn't produce the sort of characters that defined and elevated its predecessor to prestige-TV royalty. Martin 's prequel "Fire & Blood," the new series has the disadvantage of being set almost two centuries before the key events in "Game of Thrones," taking place 172 years prior to the birth of Daenerys Targaryen. That ratchets up the pressure to sink or swim -- or rather, soar or sputter -- strictly on its own terms. (As an aside, all those flowing blond-white Targaryen locks should lock up a hairdressing Emmy, if nothing else.)

Printr-o postare pe Twitter de pe contul oficial House of the Dragon, luni, a fost confirmată începerea procesului de producție la un serial a cărui acțiune se va desfășura în lumea fantastică a Game of Thrones. În privința premisei, „House of the Dragon” este inspirat din cartea „Fire & Blood” (2018), a cărei acţiune se petrece cu 300 de ani înainte de povestea din „Game of Thrones” şi prezintă aventurile familiei Targaryen, una dintre cele mai importante case ale acestui univers de fantezie epică. De aproximativ un an și jumătate, din octombrie 2019, se știe că House of the Dragon va fi primul serial menit să țină fanii Game of Thrones legați de HBO. În practică, acesta este al doilea serial a cărui acțiune este inspirată de scrierile fantastice ale lui George R.R. Primul a avut-o pe Naomi Watts în rolul principal, dar după filmarea pilotului, șefii HBO au decis că nu merită transformat într-un serial.
