All fired up

Maisie Williams says she can’t wait until House of the Dragon arrives in August.

The Game of Thrones prequel, which is set 200 years before the events of the original series and focuses on the dragon-loving House Targaryen, has been closely guarded so far but Williams says she’s excited to be able to watch as a fan, rather than a participant, at last.

“I have a couple of friends who are in it and for them coming on to this new show, having so much pressure of everything that we’ve done, I’ve tried to give them some words of advice,” she says.

“I never really could get into Game of Thrones in the same way just because I knew everything that happened. So, I’m really excited to be able to see Game of Thrones as someone not involved at all. I really hope people love it. I hope people are excited for it. I hope people enjoy it. It looks like it was great fun to make.”
