• Steve Toussaint, the star of House of the Dragon, gave viewers a peek into Lord Corlys’ thoughts as the programme enters Season 2.

• House of the Dragon is the precursor to HBO’s Game of Thrones.

Steve Toussaint, the star of House of the Dragon, gave viewers a peek into Lord Corlys’ thoughts as the programme enters Season 2. Toussaint recently talked to Extra about Corlys’ true feelings for Rhaenyra, who he’s most looking forward to seeing at the upcoming Game of Thrones fan convention, and what to expect from the upcoming Season 2 battle between the Hightowers and Targaryens.

When asked about where Lord Corlys will stand in Season 2, Toussaint said:

“I think pretty much, as is indicated at the end of this last season, is the fact that he decided whatever I may think about Rhaenyra personally, that she is the rightful heir to the throne. The land grab the Hightowers have done is treacherous, and they need to be made to pay for that. Plus… the fact is my grandson has been killed. Even though we know he’s not my grandson, but he’s my grandson. So, I think that’s kind of where he’s at, and that has to be paid for.”

The fate of the Hightowers in Season 2 still remains unclear. Many fans are hoping to see the Hightowers pay for their traitorous actions, but the support for their Green party means that a potential defeat will not come easy. Lord Corlys has pledged allegiance to Rhaenyra, meaning that the Hightowers have a weakened claim to power due to Rhaenyra’s crowning as Queen. When asked about what fans can expect in the second season, Toussaint remained tight-lipped, saying he can’t say anything except that there will be an “all-out war.” “I actually haven’t seen any scripts yet,” Toussaint said, “I’ve been told some good stuff’s gonna happen. It’s gonna be incredible.”

Additionally, Toussaint will be present at the upcoming Game of Thrones fan gathering, which will be held from December 9 to 11 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. He disclosed that he is most eager to meet Jon Snow and Theon Greyjoy from Game of Thrones, Kit Harington and Alfie Allen, respectively. Toussaint also made sure to express his admiration for the devoted Game of Thrones viewers during the interview, saying:

“The show is a success because of them. We are lucky enough to put something out that they liked, and they supported it. They delve very deeply into it and they come up with theories and stuff like that, so it’s great. I think, sometimes, it’s a bit daunting because they know more about it than we do.”

Toussaint’s interview ended on a playful note, with the interviewer inquiring about what is the most common question he receives from fans. “Other than ‘is that your hair?’”, Toussaint jokingly replied, “They ask me constantly if myself and Eve [Best] are in a relationship. I have to take that as a compliment.” Toussaint’s comments have no doubt given fans a lot to look forward to. However, those eager to find out what awaits the fate of the Hightowers will have to wait quite a while, as the second season of House of the Dragon is not expected to arrive until 2024.

The precursor to Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, takes place roughly 200 years before Daenerys Targaryen is born. The first season of the show, which starred Milly Alcock, Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Paddy Considine, Emily Carey, and many others, was created by Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik. The events leading up to the “Dance of the Dragons” civil war are followed in House of the Dragon, as well as the rise and fall of the House Targaryen.

HBO Max now offers streaming access to the first season of House of the Dragon as well as all eight seasons of Game of Thrones.
