Watch 1899 Star Audition for a Major Role in House of the Dragon Season 2

The second season of HBO’s House of the Dragon starring Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith and Olivia Cooke is gearing up for production very soon and lately we have started getting little bits and pieces of information about it. Namely, a few things about Blood and Cheese. Now, we have another interesting audition.

Emily Beecham Auditions for Alys Rivers in House of the Dragon Season 2

In not just one, but two videos, we can see 1899 star Emily Beecham read for a character codenamed ‘AR‘. She seems to be a healer of some sort and is speaking to a man, who just took a castle she lives in. ‘AR’ mocks the man for losing his position of the royal heir to his brother’s daughter and his wife. She also makes a sarcastic claim that she’s cursed and overall has the feel of that type of healer whom smallfolk and others would call a witch.

It’s quite easily identifiable that what we see is a dialogue between Daemon Targaryen and Alys Rivers, after he took Harrenhal. Alys seems to be treating Daemon’s injuries in the scene, although that seems to be an addition of the series. It could also be a fake script just for casting purposes.

It’s also worth noting that auditions videos are usually published by actors, who weren’t cast in the project, so we probably won’t see Emily Beecham as Alys Rivers. That said, there have been exceptions. Namely, when we saw Graham McTavish’s audition for The Witcher and he ended up being cast as Dijkstra after all.

In any case, it’s quite exciting to see Emily Beecham audition for a major role in House of the Dragon Season 2, and Alys Rivers no less.

There’s still no official word on any Season 2 casting, but given that filming is starting fairly soon, one might think an announcement would come soon as well. Perhaps a first small batch of new characters, like they did with Season 1.

House of the Dragon Season 2 is in pre-production for a 2024 release at HBO. Follow Redanian Intelligence for more news on House of the Dragon as well as other series.

An unexpected character is returning to The Witcher Season 2

Image
It’s been a busy week for Netflix’s The Witcher . We reported about a curious action scene being filmed at Kaer Morhen involving Henry Cavill’s Geralt, Freya Allan’s Ciri along with many new witchers and we followed that up with a report about a number of female characters involved in that storyline as well. Today we have something that surprised us a fair bit. Redanian Intelligence has learned that Danica , played by Imogen Daines , will return to the second season of The Witcher and will appear in one of its first episodes directed by Stephen Surjik. To remind you, Danica is the sex worker who Geralt is with in the beginning of the third episode of the first season and she’s examining the monster slayer’s scars. Imogen Daines as Danica with Henry Cavill as Geralt in The Witcher S01E03 The return of such a minor character is quite unexpected and it’s unclear how Danica would fit in any of the storylines of Season 2. To put the timeline into context, the scene we saw in the ser...

Henry Cavill Injury Doesn't Affect Production

Image
By now you've likely heard that Henry Cavill has injured himself during a shoot for The WItcher. United Kingdom media giant The Sun , reported the news first on Cavill's injury. A source close to the show had this to say regarding the injury, "He just suddenly pulled up and was clearly in a lot of pain. It wasn’t clear if an object had hit his leg or it was some sort of hamstring or muscle injury." This took place while Henry was suspended 20 feet in the air for a major scene. While the title of The Sun's article alludes to the production schedule going into chaos, Deadline.com has now also shared the news but notes that any impact to production is not heavily felt due to the coming holiday shut down. It would seem if Cavill had to sustain any injury, this is a perfect time for the show to absorb it. What do you think of the injury news? Let us know in the comments below or in our forum !

The Witcher Season 3 to enter production in early 2022

Image
Everyone is eagerly waiting for The Witcher Season 2 on December 17, but the work on the next season doesn’t stay still and the scripts are being written as we speak. If you recall, Season 3 of The Witcher will have a number of new writers who started their work this July. We were wondering when filming for the next season would begin and now we have a window. Thanks to the newest listing on Production Weekly, we now know that Season 3 of The Witcher is planned to enter production in the first quarter of 2022 . But bear in mind that production schedules are never solid and are always subject to change, especially in a post-covid world. Nevertheless, at least now we approximately know the production window and when Netflix wants to get things underway. Contact info blacked out for privacy reasons . Also disregard the locations and directors. That is old info. Season 3 will also have a significant change: instead of Arborfield Studios, production will move to Longcross Studios, w...
