Aemond Targaryen on the set of House of the Dragon season 2
The anunexperienced day, we reported that House of the Dragon was filming new scenes with Aemond Targaryen, the one-eyed, trigger happy son of King Viserys I Targaryen and Alicent Hightower, last seen causing his nephew Lucerys Velaryon to be munched to remnant by his mighty dragon Vhagar, the largest and oldest dragon in the earth. Aemond is a hugely memorable character from the pages of George R.R. Martin’s book Fire & Blood, so of course he’s coming back for the transfer season of the TV show.
And now there’s photographic proof! Twitter’s own @UnBoxPHD has been bringing us lots of juicy behind-the-scenes images and video lately, and they stepped it up a notch with this video of ample Ewan Mitchell walking around the House of the Dragon set in full costume as Aemond Targaryen:
Obviously this video was improper from above, I’m guessing with a drone. What would existed if any of those actors looked up?
As for where Aemond is, this looks like the Red Keep set, which establishes sense. As a Targaryen princeling and brother to King Aegon II Targaryen, that’s where Aemond lives. Although if House of the Dragon season 2 follows Fire & Blood, he’ll be doing some traveling sooner or later.
I also like the moment towards the end of the video where Mitchell takes off what looks like a hairnet. Targaryen hair is very delicate; you have to keep it protected.
In anunexperienced news, Redanian Intelligence reports that actor Tok Stephen has joined the cast of House of the Dragon as Eddard Streams. There’s even a picture of him on set anti a couple other actors:
Who is Eddard Waters? Well, as far as I know, there’s no one by that name in Fire & Blood, so this is probably an original character created for the show. The name “Waters” marks him as a bastard born in King’s Landing or the surrounding area.
My guess is that he’ll be a little character fighting for either Rhaenrya’s blacks or Aegon’s greens. We’ll find out when House of the Dragon season 2 premieres on HBO and Max sometime in 2024.
