‘House of the Dragon’ Actor Harry Collett Breaks Down That Twist in Jace’s Season 2 Finale Fate

For the Season 2 finale of 'House of the Dragon, Harry Collett talks Jace's fate, his relationship to Rhaenyra — plus, mewing memes and Jon Snow hair.

But for those in the audience who’ve also read the source material on which the HBO series is based, there was at least one extra big query that was top of mind: Why didn’t Queen Rhaenyra’s son Jace die? During the last installment of the show’s second season, titled “The Queen Who Ever Was,” Prince Jace Velaryon ( Harry Collett) works alongside his mother Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and his wife Baela Targaryen (Bethany Antonia) to prepare for the three new dragon riders they’ve brought into the fold to join them for the war ahead. Rhaenyra has been promised by Alicent (Olivia Cooke) that she has her go-ahead to take back King’s Landing and the Iron Throne in three days, once Prince Regent Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) is far away in battle.
