House of The Dragon star Olivia Cooke nervous about the Game of Thrones’ prequel

Game of Thrones ended more than a year ago. The fantastical epic kept the audience hooked for nearly a decade. The show is dubbed the greatest TV show of the 21st century. However, the final season of the show received some backlash over the controversial storyline. The fandom was divided into two, and there was even a campaign to rewrite the final season. Actress Olivia Cooke is quite nervous about joining House of The Dragon, after witnessing all those events.

Cooke has been cast as House of The Dragon’s Alicent Hightower. Joining a great franchise such as Game of Thrones does have it’s perks and excitement. However, she is wary of the treatment the final season received from quite a number of fans. She recently opened up about the issue with The Telegraph.

“I saw too many clips, just being alive at the time, so I knew what was going to happen,” she said. “What happened with Daenerys, I was OK with it, because I was expecting it, but it’s hard, you know… I’m a bit nervous about the new one. You’re never gonna please everyone, so I’ve just got to not listen to that stuff.”

She continued, “I’ve got it now. I got it in lockdown because I was lonely. Of course, it adds to the anxiety, I hate it, it’s awful, but I’m hooked to see what my friends are up to, and reading my stupid little memes to get my serotonin hit.”
