Milly Alcock "Done" With House of the Dragon, so Don't Expect Any Flashbacks

While Milly looks barely a teen in Rhaenyra's makeup, the Australian actress is actually 22 years old.

And her performance made quite a splash, even getting her nominations for some high-profile awards (although she failed to actually win any).

Too bad that we won't see her in House of the Dragon ever again. Of course, this is simply logical. Between Episodes 5 and 6 of the series there was a decade-long time skip.

And to reflect it, Rhaenyra's role was transferred from Alcock to Emma D'Arcy, starting from Episode 6. So, Emma D'Arcy will continue playing Rhaenyra in Season 2.

But some of Alcock fans still wondered whether she might be re-appear in subsequent seasons to give us some flashback scenes.

However, Alcock now dashed any hopes of that in an interview with Deadline, primarily dedicated to her upcoming professional theater debut in a production of Arthur Miller's The Crucible at the Gielgud Theatre in London – quite a high-profile role.

"No. It's done," she said.

That no longer leaves any place for hopes and speculation.

However, Alcock is grateful for House of the Dragon, as the series gave her a chance to shine and changed her life for the better, opening avenues which did not exist before, when her credits were limited to roles in obscure Australian films and TV series.

Such as getting the above-mentioned role in a London theatre.

"[House of the Dragon] changed my life very quickly and it will never be the same again," she explained. "Now I get to do all of the wonderful, amazing things that I really want to do, and I'm still figuring out what that is."

Alcock even complained a bit about her newfound success and fame.

"Your dreams shouldn't be coming true at 21 and 22," she said. "It shouldn't be allowed."

Well, that probably was tongue-in-cheek. In any case, few people would agree that having your dreams come true early is a bad thing!
