What does the creator of House of the Dragon have to say about the series?
Condal, in a report published by RadioTimes.com, talked about how the second season would challenge Matt Smith in his character as Daemon Targaryen. ‘I warned him early on, “You did such a great job in season 1, now we’re gonna throw a lot at you and really challenge your range as an actor, and also what makes Daemon as a character”,’ he said.
‘I think Daemon is the character a lot of people hook into with this series, because it’s the sort of stereotypical heroic male lead. And we wanted to kind of turn that on its ear, beginning with episode 1 of season 1 and carrying all the way through the rest of his arc through the series.’
