HouseoftheDragon explained why the show will recast Alicent Hightower and Rhaenyra Targaryen. It'll hurt, but it makes sense. Let's talk about the details around this big change (who, when, why) but also what's next for Milly Alcock & Emily Carey.
Warning: Contains SPOILERS for House of the Dragon season 1, episode 4, "King of the Narrow Sea." House of the Dragon season 1, episode 4 better explains why Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower’s actors will be recast before the initial run of episodes is even finished.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Rhaenyra and Alicent’s recastings loom large over proceedings in a couple of ways, both because it will mean a change in story, but also because it will be difficult to lose Alcock and Carey. The pair have clearly resonated with audiences and earned a lot of praise, but there are currently no plans for them to return in the future after the recasts happen and Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke step into the roles, though it is possible .
Who Will Play The Older Rhaenyra & Alicent In House Of The Dragon When Rhaenyra and Alicent are recast in House of the Dragon, it will see Emma D’Arcy replace Milly Alcock, while Olivia Cooke takes over from Emily Carey. D’Arcy has previously appeared in Wanderlust and Truth Seekers, while Cooke’s major credits include Ready Player One and Sound of Metal.
When Will House Of The Dragon’s Rhaenyra & Alicent Actors Change? Although exactly when Rhaenyra and Alicent will be recast in House of the Dragon is unknown, it is going to be very soon. It was confirmed prior to the season starting that the major 10-year time jump, which will be where the actors switch, is going to take place around the mid-season point.
Similarly, both Alcock and Carey are listed for episode 5 on IMDb, whereas D'Arcy and Cooke are credited from episode 6 onwards, but that’s not confirmation. Still, with those factors and considering co-showrunners Miguel Sapochnik is directing episode 6, pointing to it as a key installment, then presumably Rhaenyra and Alicent will be recast either at the end of House of the Dragon season 1, episode 5 or the beginning of episode 6.
