House of the Dragon season 2’s filming is in full swing and now reports say the show has found its Jeyne Arryn in Raised By Wolves star Amanda Collin.
The much-anticipated second season of House of the Dragon‘s filming is currently underway in the UK. The prequel series set 172 years before Game of Thrones was one of 2022’s most successful television releases. The first season ended on a very high note, as the fictional world of Westeros was on the brink of a civil war. Hence, fans’ excitement for the HBO show’s season 2 was at a peak. Now a new casting-related report says the show has found its key season character Jeyne Arryn in actress Amanda Collin.
Amanda Collin set to star as Jeyne Arryn in House of the Dragon
The scoop site Redanian Intelligence claims House of the Dragon season 2 has cast Raised By Wolves star Amanda Collin to play Jeyne Arryn in season 2. Many Westerosi fans may already know that Jeyne is the lady of the Eyrie. She is otherwise known as the Maiden of the Vale. The character plays a key role in the Dance of the Dragons, set to feature in season 2.
Amanda is a Danish actress who has previously featured in A Terrible Woman and The Exception. One of her biggest acting roles so far has been in HBO Max’s Raised By Wolves. She plays the role of Mother on the show. Mother is an android programmed to raise human children on a faraway planet.
Redanian Intelligence further notes that Amanda’s Jeyne is expected to meet Jacaerys Targaryen in the show’s earlier episodes.
GRV Media has reached out to Amanda Collin’s representatives as well Warner Media.
