Actors Milly Alcock<\/a> and Emily Carey have made their exit from House of the Dragon.<\/a><\/p>\n Bar the actors returning in potential flashbacks, the pair made their final appearances in the Game of Thrones prequel in its fifth episode, We Light the Way.<\/p>\n The sixth episode, titled The Princess and the Queen, will see Emma D\u2019Arcy take over the role of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen<\/a> from Alcock, while Olivia Cooke will replace Carey as Queen Alicent Hightower.<\/a><\/p>\n Both Alcock and Carey were cast on the series following the initial castings of D\u2019Arcy and Cooke, who will portray the characters for the majority of the show\u2019s run.<\/a><\/p>\n The upcoming sixth instalment is 10 years after the cliffhanger ending of the fifth episode, which saw a health crisis for King Viserys I Targaryen<\/a> (Paddy Considine) and Princess Rhaenyra wed Ser Laenor Velaryon<\/a> (Theo Nate).<\/p>\n Speaking about casting multiple actors as major characters, HBO and HBO Max content chief Casey Bloys told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> that he was nervous, but revealed: \u201cNow that I\u2019ve seen the result, I feel really good about it.\u201d<\/p>\n However, Carey has expressed an interest in herself and Alcock reprising their roles in future episodes.<\/p>\n Carey told The Hollywood Reporter:<\/a> \u201cIt\u2019s been spoken about, conversations have happened, but, in all honesty, I know absolutely nothing and I have no idea. Of course, I would love to come back. It depends on how it\u2019s received and where they want to take the show next. I\u2019m just going with the flow!\u201d<\/p>\n She added of the change in actors: \u201cI think it was really important for [showrunners Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal] to show the origin story of how these women came to be the women that [fans of author George RR Martin\u2019s book Fire & Blood] know.\u201d<\/p>\n Other actors to debut in the sixth instalment as characters already introduced include John Macmillan<\/strong> as Ser Laenor and Nanna Blondell<\/strong> as his sister, Lady Laena Velaryon.<\/p>\n We will also be introduced to the younger actors taking on the roles of Queen Alicent\u2019s children with King Viserys. David Tennant\u2019s son Ty Tennant<\/strong> will portray Prince Aegon Targaryen, Leo Ashton<\/strong> will play his younger brother Prince Aemond Targaryen, and Evie Allen<\/strong> will portray their sister Princess Helaena Targaryen.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, we will also be introduced to Princess Rhaenyra\u2019s children, with Leo Hart<\/strong> portraying Prince Jacaerys Velaryon and Harvey Sadler<\/strong> playing Prince Lucerys Velaryon.<\/p>\n Finally, Shani Smethurst<\/strong> and Eva Ossei-Gerning<\/strong> will make their debut as sisters Lady Baela Targaryen and Lady Rhaena Targaryen.<\/p> Read More:<\/strong><\/p>\n House of the Dragon will continue on Mondays on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW<\/a> \u2013 find out more about how to sign up for Sky TV<\/a>.
