Cast
Casting for the first season began in July 2020.[25] In October 2020, Paddy Considine was cast as Viserys I Targaryen.[12] Considine was offered a role in Game of Thrones but declined due to the fantasy elements of the series.[26] Condal in a 2020 interview stated that Considine was their first choice for Viserys.[27] By December, Olivia Cooke, Matt Smith, and Emma D'Arcy were cast as Alicent Hightower, Daemon Targaryen, and Rhaenyra Targaryen, respectively.[28] In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Smith stated he was initially hesitant to star in a Game of Thrones prequel but accepted the role after learning of Considine's attachment to the project.[2
