"Emma D’Arcy Reflects on Lonely 'House of the Dragon' Season 2 Filming"

Emma D'Arcy revealed that filming the second season of HBO's "House of the Dragon" felt "kind of lonely" due to the cast being separated for individual storylines, unlike the close-knit experience of the first season. The new season will see characters like Rhaenyra, Daemon, and Alicent scattered across Westeros, which required the actors to shoot fewer scenes together. Despite the separation, D'Arcy and co-stars Matt Smith and Olivia Cooke expressed their fondness for each other and the challenges of adapting to the new dynamics. The show premieres on June 16 on Max.
