House of the Dragon Season 2 Adds Cheese and More Casting News

As of April 12, 2023 HBO’s hit series House of the Dragon starring Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith and Olivia Cooke has officially begun filming.

The 8-episode second season is expected to arrive to our screen in Summer 2024. Now, let’s get to casting.

Mark Stobbart is Cheese

We have learned that the infamous Cheese of the Blood and Cheese duo will be played by actor Mark Stobbart. His previous credits include Line of Duty, The Long Shadow, Clink and more.

Back in January, we reported on an audition tape for a character codenamed ‘Charlie C’, who sounded a lot like Cheese. Now, we know who plays Cheese for certain.

Interestingly, Stobbart is expected to work on the second season of House of the Dragon until September 2023. Whether that’s only his scenes or the entire season overall, we can’t really say.

James Doherty is Cley

In addition to Cheese, we’ve learned that James Doherty has joined the second season of House of the Dragon as a character named Cley. We don’t know who Cley is, but we know that his role will be recurring.

Doherty’s previous credits include Outlander, Elden Ring and more.

As there are named characters, there are also those whose characters we don’t know. One such name is Kieran Bew (Warrior), who has long been suspected to have joined the cast of House of the Dragon. He was even at Leavesen Studios very recently.

It must be noted that Bew is 42 and cannot be playing Cregan Stark as Rhaenyra told her sons that Cregan in the series is closer to their age than hers. So at most Cregan will have to be in his early twenties, not 42.

Another such name is Abubakar Salim (Assassin’s Creed: Origins), who is also strongly suspected by the House of the Dragon community to have joined the cast of the new season.

Lastly, we have two more names who we strongly suspect to be part of House of the Dragon Season 2: Gayle Rankin (Glow, Men) and Clinton Liberty (Normal People).

House of the Dragon Season 2 is in 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...
