Aemond Targaryen chooses violence on House of the Dragon season 2 set

Filming continues on the set of House of the Dragon. The cast and crew are no longer shooting on location as they once were, and it’s harder to see what they’re doing behind the walls of Leavesden Studios in England. But that doesn’t mean reports aren’t coming in…

Reliable fansite Redanian Intelligence reports that Ewan Mitchell, who plays the one-eyed Aemond Targaryen, was filming a new scene this week. The scene, which is probably set in King’s Landing, involves Aemond gives an order to have someone executed, an order that is then carried out by a group of soldiers.

I don’t recall such a scene from George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, but it’s not at all out of character for Aemond to do something like this. The kid often chooses violence. RI also brings word of a scene involving Larys Strong (Matthew Needham) looking down from a tower in the Red Keep. He’s probably thinking about military strategy. Or feet.

House of the Dragon prepares to film the Battle of Rook’s Rest

The cast and crew aren’t quite done with on-location filming just yet. RI reports that they’re prepping to film the Battle of Rook’s Rest, a key skirmish from Fire & Blood, in Bourne Woods late this month.

Bourne Woods is in Surry, England. We’ll keep an eye on it. The second season of House of the Dragon is expected to film through the end of September and come out sometime in 2024.
