Chances are you’ve either started watching House of the Dragon season 2 or are planning to do so. We can already say things are looking bleak for all the backstabbing royals involved, and of course, problematic sexual encounters continue to be a recurring thing. But it seems that we won’t be seeing some of the messier stuff that was shot.
The key cast members of the first Game of Thrones spinoff series have been out there doing interviews and big promotional bits for weeks now, and Olivia Cooke’s in-depth chat with Elle might be one of the meatiest pieces on the subject you can read right now.
While the entire interview isn’t centered on the Game of Thrones prequel, it understandably shapes most of it. About the pressure of tackling the first-ever GoT spinoff series, Cooke said: “There was a pressure [in] doing a new offshoot of the Game of Thrones world, and really desperately wanting it to be well-received because we’d worked so hard on it.” Following the backlash to the last season of the main series back in 2019, anyone would have been nervous going into such an important franchise and toying with its past.
