Emma D'Arcy, who plays Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen on HouseOfTheDragon, says that Daemon actor Matt Smith inspired an important finale moment: 'As soon as he said that when we were doing an onset rehearsal, I suddenly could see it.'
Warning! This article contains major spoilers for House of the Dragon season 1 and the Fire & Blood book.House of the Dragon star Emma D'Arcy says Matt Smith suggested a crucial part of season 1's final scene. The Game of Thrones spin-off saw a few major deaths in the last couple of episodes, with King Viserys' death in episode 8 setting off the civil war that will eventually follow.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The tragedy didn't stop there for Rhaenyra, who went into early labor after hearing the news and experienced a horrific stillbirth. Returning to her duties after the funeral for her lost child, she was bombarded by the men in her council, including her husband Daemon , who were eager to go to war. However, Rhaenyra elected to take a more measured approach, sending her eldest sons Jacaerys and Lucerys with messages for her potential allies in the war.
"I totally think so. I have to say, just because I just think it’s [a mark] of genius: it was Matt Smith who suggested that Rhaenyra received the news on the walk away from camera. As soon as he said that when we were doing an onset rehearsal, I suddenly could see it. But that really sincere attempt towards maturity, complexity and holding all of these moving parts together – her attempt to be the glue just falls away. There is nothing left to bridge those many factions anymore.
What's Next For Rhaenyra In House of the Dragon Season 2 Largely due to her belief in the prophecy that her father confided in her, Aegon the Conqueror's dream of The Song of Ice and Fire, Rhaenyra has prioritized peace in the Seven Kingdoms above all. However, D'Arcy's response hints at a new side to Rhaenyra in House of the Dragon season 2, as she eschews the calm maturity she exhibited in the season 1 finale for righteous rage.
In House of the Dragon season 2, viewers can expect to see the Dance of the Dragons fully begin, with Rhaenyra finding a personal motivation for bloodshed due to her desire to avenge Lucerys' death, which she will likely believe to be a murder. As she relies more on her instincts and less on the poise and logic that initially guided her, viewers may see the new queen make some truly shocking decisions before the conclusion of season 2.
