The House of the Dragon cast has found another key character for the series ahead of its upcoming, highly anticipated third season.
Who is the latest addition to the House of the Dragon Season 3 cast?
The character coming to House of the Dragon Season 3 is Alysanne Blackwood, with Deadline reporting that Annie Shapero has been cast in the role. The character, known as “Black Aly” in George R.R. Martin’s Fire and Blood novel, is a legendary figure in the history of House Stark. Blackwood — Lord Benjicot Blackwood’s Aunt — fights alongside Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen in the Dance of the Dragons, and goes on to marry Lord Cregan Stark.
Deadline’s report notes that Blackwood will not be a series regular and will instead appear in five of the eight episodes for Season 3. This suggests her story could be highlighted throughout the season before coming to a close at some point. Season 3 of the hit HBO series has already begun filming, and is reported to be releasing sometime next year.
House of the Dragon Season 3 will once again feature returning cast members Emma D’Arcy as Rhaenyra, Matt Smith as Daemon, Olivia Cooke as Alicent, Rhys Ifans as Otto, Steve Toussaint as Corlys, Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria, Fabien Frankel as Criston Cole, Harry Collett as Jace, Tom Glynn-Carney as Aegon II, Ewan Mitchell as Aemond, Bethany Antonia as Baela, Phoebe Campbell as Rhaena, Phia Saban as Helaena, Tom Taylor as Cregan Stark, Tom Bennett as Ulf White, Freddie Fox as Ser Gwayne, and more.
The prequel chronicles the rise and the downfall of the Targaryens — the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria. The spin-off is created by Martin and showrunner Ryan Condal, who are executive producing alongside Sara Hess, Alan Taylor, Melissa Bernstein, Kevin de la Noy, Loni Peristere, Vince Gerardis.
