Raised By Wolves star Amanda Collin is Jeyne Arryn in House of the Dragon season 2

Filming on season 2 of House of the Dragon is cruising along in the UK, and the reports of new actors joining the cast are coming in left and right. HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel already has a sprawling cast, but with the Dance of the Dragons civil war kicking into high gear in season 2, we’re expecting to see plenty of new faces. (Many of whom will probably die horrible deaths, because Game of Thrones.)
Today, reliable scoop site Redanian Intelligence reports that House of the Dragon may have cast a crucial role: Jeyne Arryn, who is Lady of the Vale during this time in Westerosi history. This is a really exciting casting, not only because Jeyne Arryn is an important character in the story, but also because she’ll reportedly be played by Raised By Wolves star Amanda Collin. Praise Sol!
Amanda Collin will play Jeyne Arryn in House of the Dragon season 2
Casting a seasoned actor like Amanda Collin to play Lady Jeyne Arryn is a great move for House of the Dragon. Collin portrayed the lead android Mother in HBO Max’s sci-fi series Raised By Wolves, and she did an incredible job. That was a dark, complicated show, so there’s no doubt at all that Collin will fit in Westeros.
As for Lady Jeyne, we expect to see her early on in season 2. Jacaerys Velaryon’s (Harry Collet) stops at the Eyrie on his journey to gather allies for his mother, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy). He meets Lady Jeyne right at the start of the conflict and enters into some shrewd negotiations to secure the Eyrie’s support in the coming war.
Collin isn’t the first Raised By Wolves star to join the cast of House of the Dragon season 2; Collin’s frequent Raised By Wolves scene partner Abubakar Salim will appear as Alyn of Hull. Raised By Wolves fans were devastated when the Ridley Scott-produced series was prematurely canceled last year, so it’s wonderful to see some of its stellar performers make the jump to another HBO tentpole.
According to A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin, filming on House of the Dragon season 2 is around halfway done. We’re expecting to see it sometime in 2024, though it’s still unclear how the ongoing actors and writers strikes might affect that date.
