Actress Olivia Cooke is happy that the series will remove Game of Thrones’ most iconic and controversial feature.
House of the Dragon is the first of four Game of Thrones spin-offs that HBO is preparing to expand George RR Martin’s extraordinary universe. The series, which will adapt the book Fire & Blood, will give an account of the fall of the Targaryens, and fans are excitingly looking forward to its launch in mid-2022.
At the moment, there is no specific release date, but filming is scheduled to begin in April. Also, details about this series are coming to the light. For example, Olivia Cooke told The Telegraph that House of dragon will have notable differences from the original series.
“I wouldn’t feel comfortable in being a part of anything that has just egregious graphic violence towards women for no reason whatsoever, just because they want it to be tantalizing in a way that gets viewers,” were the blunt words from the actress who will play Alicent Hightower.

Following these statements, she emphasized that she would not feel comfortable promoting violence against women without justification just to attract viewers. “I was lucky enough to read the [prequel] script before, and it has changed a lot from the first few seasons [of ‘Thrones’]. I don’t think they’d be in their right minds to include any of that any more,” Olivia Cooke explained.
The main story will focus on the lineage of the Targaryen family, the imposing house of nobles that conquered Westeros until its fall in the revolution, and focuses on the events that occurred 300 years before Game of Thrones. A remarkable story to see in live-action for fans of of the Game of Thrones series.
