Liberty will play Addam of Hull, a character who was somewhat mysterious in Fire & Blood because of the book's unreliable narrator. Addam is a "dragonseed" – a low-born person presumed to have some amount of Valyrian ancestry through a bastard descendant of House Velaryon. In Season 2, dragonseeds will be invited to attempt to claim dragons so that Rhaenyra's side can gain an advantage in the war.

Phoebe Campbell as Rhaena Targaryen

Kenna will play Ser Alfred Broome, one of the senior nights in the garrison at Dragonstone. House of the Dragon has an uphill battle following the controversial ending of Game of Thrones while adapting a very unconventional book to screen. The show is based on Fire & Blood, a fictional history book by George R.R. Martin that is not written or structured like a typical novel.

House of the Dragon newcomer Abubakar Salim (Alyn of Hull) promises a "very wild" season 2

Over the decade, he becomes Lord Commander of the City Watch and the assumed father of Rhaenyra's three sons. Young Laenor Velaryon is Corlys and Rhaenys' first-born son and heir to Driftmark. We meet the young noble as he attends events with his family, before he serves as a soldier during his father and Daemon's conquest of the Stepstones, with the help of his dragon, Seasmoke. He is then betrothed to Rhaenyra, though the two agree to have their own lives within the marriage, as Laenor is gay. King Viserys succeeded his grandfather Jaehaerys on the throne, having been voted in during The Great Council at Harrenhal. He's ruled over a period of peace and during the height of the Targaryens' power, but he only has one child and no male heir, so that period of prosperity will likely be thrown into chaos with his death.

Rachel Redford plays Lady Rhea Royce

Raised by Wolves veteran Abubakar Salim is one of a great many new actors joining the cast of HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon in its second season. He plays Alyn of Hull, a peasant living on the isle of Driftmark, the seat of House Velaryon. We won't give away spoilers here, but Alyn has a long, interesting journey of him now that war has broken out between Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and her half-brother Aegon Targaryen. Baela and Rhaena are the daughters of Daemon and Laena Velaryon, born during the 10 year time jump before episode 6. In their younger timeline, they're played by Smethurst (seen left) and Ossei-Gerning (right). HotD is Smethurst's first major role, though she was previously credited in a 2018 screen adaptation of Twelfth Night.

That doesn’t mean that we won’t see them again someday, but at least Paddy Considine does not have to jeopardize his own health for another stunning performance that the awards circuit decides to ignore.

First, Daemon must zoom around Westeros to gather as many houses as possible for that fight. I suspect that the strategy set-up will take up much of this second season, but unlike with the book, Rhaenyra might even leave Dragonstone to participate. And we will literally see fire rain down from the sky when the two sides have to force allegiance from reluctant settlements.

Jefferson Hall plays Lord Jason Lannister and Ser Tyland Lannister

The trailer for House of the Dragon Season 2 showed fan-favorite returning characters in action, but an additional press release from HBO introduced some new faces. We got confirmation on six newly-cast characters this weekend, bringing our total for Season 2 up to 10 brand new Westerosi people. Here's a look at each actor and the character they are playing.

Japanese-British actress Mizuno worked as a high-fashion model and danced with several ballet companies before making her film debut alongside Oscar Isaac in the sci-fi film Ex Machina. She's best known for playing bride Araminta Lee in the film Crazy Rich Asians, and she also appeared in La La Land, Netflix's Maniac, and FX's Devs. British actor Frankel studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, before making his film debut alongside Thrones alum Emilia Clarke in the 2019 film Last Christmas. He's also appeared the BBC miniseries The Serpent and the 2019 NYPD Blue reboot. Ser Criston is the Dornish common-born son of the Steward of Blackhaven, who arrives in King's Landing with nothing but his skill with a sword. As the season goes on, he'll get much closer to young Rhaenyra.

He has a strong dislike of the King's brother, Daemon, and aims to keep him out of power by any means necessary. Ser Otto is also willing to use his daughter Alicent in his games. Princess Rhaenyra is the daughter of King Viserys, who hopes to become the first queen of the Seven Kingdoms when her father's reign ends.

Nolan has also appeared the films Pan and London Road. The second son of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and, officially, Ser Laenor Velaryon. Redford has also appeared in the series Shadow and Bone and Gap Year.

This reputation grew so strong he was appointed Hand of the King to King Jaehaerys Targaryen, a role he held onto under the rule of King Viserys. In a misunderstanding of Viserys' dying words, which were the Song of Ice and Fire prophecy, Alicent came to believe he was naming their son Aegon as his heir in place of Rhaenyra, spurring her endeavor to crown him king. After House of the Dragon's mid-way time jump, Olivia Cooke took over from Emily Carey as the older Alicent Hightower, now queen of Westeros through her marriage to King Viserys Targaryen.
