House of the Dragon casts new child actor as Joffrey Velaryon in Season 2

The second season of House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel, is gradually approaching and is prepared to give viewers yet another shock of wonder, heartache, and tears. As with its predecessor, this epic fantasy has developed a devoted following.
