“Home of the Dragon” season 2, which — yay! — is premiering a lot ahead of all of us thought, will delve even deeper into the historical past of the Targaryen household, however will one member of the dragon-riding dynasty be a part of the likes of Emma D’Arcy’s Rhaenyra, Matt Smith’s Daemon, Tom Glynn-Carney’s Aegon II and the remainder of the Targaryen clan onscreen subsequent season?
The fantasy website WinterIsComing.Internet not too long ago reported {that a} character named “Daeron Targaryen” was seemingly reduce out of the primary season of the “Recreation of Thrones” prequel collection. Twitter consumer @darksvster shared a piece of a script from “Driftmark,” the seventh episode of “Home of the Dragon” season 1, with dialogue that didn’t make it into the ultimate ep.
Within the scene, Aemond Targaryen (performed by Leo Ashton as a baby and Ewan Mitchell as an grownup within the HBO drama) asks his grandfather Ser Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) in regards to the wellbeing and whereabouts of Daeron, whom he refers to as his “youthful brother.” “Daeron’s place is in Oldtown,” Otto tells him however provides that the Targaryen boy “grows like every squire would beneath your uncle, Robert. Thick of pores and skin.”
Sure, that implies that, simply as in George R. R. Martin’s 2018 e book “Fireplace & Blood” on which “Home of the Dragon” relies, there are literally 5 Targaryen siblings born beneath the late King Viserys (Paddy Considine). We’ve got thus far solely met 4 of Viserys’ youngsters on display: Rhaenyra, Aegon II, Aemond and Helaena (performed by Evie Allen as a youthful and Phia Saban as an grownup). We have but to come across Viserys’ youngest son Daeron, however the reduce dialogue means that his existence is canon within the TV adaptation.
Martin affirmed as such in an October 2022 blogpost on his web site: “Sure, Alicent gave Viserys 4 youngsters, three sons and a daughter, their youngest son Daeron is down in Oldtown, we simply didn’t have the time to work him on this season … there are solely so many minutes in an episode.”
“Fireplace & Blood” e book followers would possibly do not forget that Daeron Targaryen reveals up later within the Dance of the Dragons succession battle throughout the Home Targaryen, so possibly we’ll lastly meet the youngest Targaryen brother within the present’s upcoming second season, particularly on condition that the HBO collection is allegedly making extra lively modifications to Rhaenyra’s storyline and fast-tracking the bloody sibling feud between her and half-brother Aegon II over their father’s throne.
We’ll study much more about members of the Targaryen household within the numerous “Recreation of Thrones” spinoff collection which are within the works, together with the Dunk and Egg prequel (the latter of whom is the longer term King Aegon V Targaryen) and the Aegon the Conqueror collection, following the origin story of the founder and first king of the Targaryen dynasty who conquered the continent of Westeros.
Tom’s Information will hold you up to date on precisely when “Home of the Dragon” season 2 is scheduled to premiere and whether or not or not Daeron Targaryen might be included on its prolonged listing of characters. Within the meantime, Westeros followers can revisit each “Recreation of Thrones” and “Home of the Dragon” with a Max subscription.
