To celebrate the finale of House of the Dragon: Season Two airing last weekend, we had the pleasure to chat to Aemon Targaryen himself Ewan Mitchell about the whirlwind of the last weeks and much more in between.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood and set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series tells the story of House Targaryen. Starring Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Sonoya Mizuno, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell and Rhys Ifans.
Chatting to Mitchell, who also starred in last year’s Saltburn, talks about his initial thoughts on joining such a huge series, not watching the original to further focus on his interpretation and performance of a Targaryen, why he was drawn to Aemond and his struggles as much as his trajectory through the two seasons, his influences in bringing this complex character to life, fan reactions to the finale and season as a whole, what is next and why he thinks fans will enjoy what is to come.

House of the Dragon: Season Two is available to buy on digital now and pre-order on 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray and DVD.
