EMMA D'ARCY SPILLS: RHAENYRA'S PARANOIA IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE
The 'House of the Dragon' star reveals how the Iron Throne is messing with her character's head — and what that Daemon reunion means.
Hold onto your crowns: Emma D'Arcy is dishing about what it's REALLY like to play Rhaenyra Targaryen now that she's finally sitting on the Iron Throne. According to Variety, the actor opened up about Season 3's latest developments, and let's just say ruling the Seven Kingdoms is giving Rhaenyra some serious paranoia vibes — especially after that shocking Daeron swap that just went down.
D'Arcy revealed that her character is wrestling with the messy reality of actually RUNNING things after all that fighting for the crown. The paranoia is setting in as Rhaenyra realizes there's a whole lot of damage control waiting for her. But here's where it gets JUICY: the actor also teased what's coming when Rhaenyra reconnects with Daemon, hinting at a return to "pure Targaryenism" — aka all that raw, unfiltered Targaryen chaos and passion we've been DYING to see.
With Episode 3 now streaming on HBO Max, D'Arcy's intel has us on the edge of our seats wondering just how messy things are about to get. The queen has the crown — but does she have what it takes to keep it?
