8 New Actors To Join House Of The Dragon Season 1 After Second Time Jump

Change and Dragons are the two things that remain constant in the prequel series House Of The Dragon. Over the span of seven episodes, the show has changed many cast members. The saddest moment was when we had to say goodbye to Milly Alcock and others after the first time jump.

Now it’s almost time for the second time skip, and the royal babies will grow up this time. Furthermore, it is believed that this is the final time skip for the upcoming three to four seasons. All the royals, including Aegon, Aemond, and Jacaerys Velaryon, will appear in a new avatar.

We have the list of all the new joiners, and they all look fantastic in their roles. Moreover, these characters will play a significant role in the civil war. Before getting started with these superstars, let’s shed some light on the significance of the time jump in the series.

What is the significance of the Time Jump in House Of The Dragon?

We first witnessed the first time skip after the fifth episode, and it came up with many changes. Firstly, Alicent and Rhaenyra grew into worse enemies than ever. Moreover, they had children for a period of 10 years. So the time skip is definitely essential for new characters and the story.

Now the second jump will take us a decade into the future, and this time we’ll have all the contenders ready for the battle. Moreover, King Viserys might get bedridden in the next installment, and the race to civil war will finally begin. With that said, let’s check out all the new pawns that’ll participate in Dance of Dragons.
