House of the Dragon Season 1 Wins Golden Globe for 2023 Best Drama Series
In a surprise twist of events, House of the Dragon picked up the biggest TV award of the night, after very few actual nominations during the Golden Globes leadup, and a slow of other shows winning other awards throughout the night. Defeating retiring shows Better Call Saul and Ozark, regular Golden Globe winner The Crown, and breakout freshman drama Severance, HOTD did what Game of Thrones was never able to do, and won the top prize. A few more developments below…
On hand to accept the award were season 1 co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik, and twin Rhaenyras Emma D’Arcy and Milly Alcock. I guess this was a swan song for Miguel, who formally stepped away from the GOT universe this summer. Stumbling through his rambling and self-admittedly unexpected speech, he took the time to importantly note, “I’ve gotta say, Severance is awesome; I love that show. If I could have made House of the Dragon like Severance, I would have, but it would have been a bit weird.”
Emma D’Arcy was nominated for Best Actress as well, although they did not win. Telling Yahoo their thoughts on the impending season 2, they said “I think season one Rhaenyra spends a lot of time mediating her Targaryen fire. My hope is that in season two, the breaks are off a bit.” They also go on to talk about the” beautifully ironic” nature of being nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress, just as they had “stopped pretending to present as a woman in order to find success.”
Meanwhile, for the upcoming SAG awards, HOTD received just one nomination, for Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Television Series. And yes, that category is a whole ass mouthful. How do you think they’ll do?

Ewan Mitchell says it’s “all-out war” and writer Sara Hess teases Blood and Cheese in season 2
With production of season 2 on the horizon it’s time to start looking ahead!
Ewan Mitchell gave his first ever interview for House of the Dragon in December (Inside the Episode featurettes notwithstanding), in which he discussed why his character, Aemond Targaryen, is the way he is and what we can look forward to next season.
The notoriously shy 25-year old discussed the change his character underwent in season 1 with The Face, describing the Aemond we meet in episodes 6 and 7, played by Leo Ashton, as a “neglected, friendless, bullied boy who really never found a place in the family,” and explaining that this experience enables him to connect to the behemoth, Vhagar.
“She’s enormous but also the loneliest. She’s so big she can’t fit within the confines of any castle wall, like Aemond,” he said. “He doesn’t fit in anywhere, and so he identifies with her … Not only does he find his voice, but he also makes a friend. A character like Aemond never really felt that unconditional love from his family, but he’s found it in this dragon. What does that do? It changes him.”
Indeed, Mitchell seems to fully accept his character’s propensity for villainy, calling him “a whole other monster” and drawing parallels between his one-eyed character and famous mythological terrors.
“That was one of the first things Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik wanted to think about: the legend of The Cyclops in Greek mythology, and how he ultimately traded one of his eyes to Hades in order to see the day he would die,” Mitchell said. “What does that do to a person, to possess that extreme degree of self-certainty? To know the day you’re going to go down, and feel bulletproof to a point. I’m not saying Aemond is a seer, but he’s scary perceptive.”
As perceptive as Aemond may be, he very much escalated the conflict between the Greens and Blacks by accidentally killing his nephew in the last episode of the season.
“I guess Aemond is the guy who kickstarts the domino effect that’ll lead to the Dance of the Dragons,” Mitchell admitted. “If season one was about seeing Aemond getting warmed up, season two is all-out war.”
While the term “fan favorite” is a bit hard to assign to any character in a show with a cast as large as House of the Dragon’s, Aemond certainly made a strong (heh heh ) impression on viewers, and Mitchell has appreciated the fan response.
“It’s been endearing to have people come up to you, be it positively or negatively. To know that you’ve elicited a reaction through your performance as a collective, to have made that impression, is brilliant.”
Pre-production for season 2 is currently underway and Mitchell has shaved his head for wig fittings. Shooting will take eight months and Mitchell is excited to get back to it: “I really want to see the work speak for itself,” he said. “I want to get back into Westeros as soon as I can, and get back to work.”
In other exciting season 2 news, show writer Sara Hess confirmed to Variety that fans can look forward to another major moment in canon, the infamous Blood and Cheese. (Do not google that, o Unsullied ones!)
“We are currently writing the finale of Season 2,” Hess told Variety when asked last month if the “House of the Dragon” writers’ room had already penned the on-screen version of the infamous Blood and Cheese storyline. “I don’t think you will be disappointed.”
The heinous Blood and Cheese, if written and played off well, will effect show fans as powerfully as it has impacted book readers.
