House of the Dragon season 2 is as graphic as predicted. Starring Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Rhys Ifans and more, the Game of Thrones spin-off show takes viewers back to Westeros. Olivia who plays Alicent Hightower has now shared details about a scene that was discarded.
In an interview with a leading news portal, Olivia Cooke revealed that there was a “messy” and “animalistic” sex scene between Alicent Hightower and Fabien Frankel’s Ser Criston Cole.
The scene was reportedly cut because Ryan Condal who is the showrunner thought it didn’t add much to the characters’ arc in the series. That being said, right from the premiere, the show already gives Alicent a fair share of raunchy scenes.
House of the Dragon season 2 revolves around the war brewing between Rhaenyra Targaryen supported by The Blacks and King Aegon II backed by The Greens. The show’s first episode is currently streaming.
