Finn Bennett when asked whether Ira Parker might find a way to bring Aerion into future seasons of AKOTSK: “Please! I don’t know. Let’s just wait and see."

On the red carpet for the premiere of A24's new horror movie Backrooms, Finn Bennett told ScreenRant's Tatiana Hullender that he'd be eager to come back as Prince Aerion "Brightflame" Targaryen, the antagonistic elder brother to Egg, in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' future. Bennett noted that he's unsure if a return for Aerion is in the cards, however, given the legendary Targaryen family member doesn't appear after George R.R. Martin's first Tales of Dunk and Egg novella on which season 1 is based:

ScreenRant: Now, obviously, you were killing it as Aerion "Brightflame," sometimes literally. You're not in the other novellas, per se, but do we think that Ira [Parker] and George [R.R. Martin] will work you in? Do you want to come back?

Finn Bennett: "Please! I don't know. Let's just wait and see. I was so happy with the way that series came out, and I'm so proud to be a part of it. So proud of Peter and Dexter, and I love all of them."

After arguably serving as the primary villain in season 1, Aerion is absent from The Sworn Sword, on which season 2 is based, and Martin's The Mystery Knight, the story of which a potential season 3 would cover. That said, series co-creator Ira Parker has already made some significant book changes in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 1, so the possibility remains for season 2 or 3 to make room for an Aerion cameo.

Furthermore, Parker has discussed a 12–15 season plan for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms if HBO agrees, which would follow Dunk and Egg throughout their lifetimes. If that plan comes to fruition, the series would have plenty more opportunities to bring back Aerion and adapt the future twists and turns of his fate as a Targaryen prince.

The status of Aerion and Egg's eldest brother, Daeron Targaryen (Henry Ashton), is also uncertain for season 2. Like Aerion and Maekar, Daeron's story in the larger book universe is far from over after the events of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 1's ending, but he has yet to show up again in Martin's Dunk and Egg novellas.

'It's easy when you play a character like Aegon to be cold and calculated and pretty numb to it all. But Aegon's capable of loving. Jaehaerys is something he made and is proud of. This is what I was telling myself, it felt like he could almost start again with Jaehaerys' - TGC

Showrunner Ira Parker on AKOTSK Season 2: “Season 2 is another faithful adaptation of these novellas that we think are very well done. In all honesty, it’s actually probably a little bit of a more quiet, intimate story, if that’s even possible.”

Fresh full new interview with The Ankler

Parker and Claffey were understandably cagey about talking too much about season 2, which went into production before the first season had even premiered. They’ve each found their own way to deal with the attention that comes from a hit TV show — “I canceled all my social media, Peter just posts his runs and workouts,” says Parker — and embrace the conversations with fans, which naturally happen a lot for Claffey, who at 6-foot-5-inches is bound to stand out in any crowd.

“It’s happened to me a handful of times, where they come up, and they’re like, ‘I don’t want a picture or anything, I just wanted to say this to you,’” Claffey tells me. “In 2026, when everybody’s just constantly getting selfies, when people do that, it’s like, wow. That’s a really poignant sort of thing to happen.”

They both hope, of course, that Thrones fans are just as happy with what they have in store for the second season. But anyone hoping they’d finally get around to the dragons or the massive battle sequences may wind up disappointed.

Says Parker, “Season 2 is another faithful adaptation of these novellas that we think are very well done. In all honesty, it’s actually probably a little bit of a more quiet, intimate story, if that’s even possible.” Adapted from the Martin novella The Sworn Sword, season 2 will find Dunk and Egg on more adventures, meeting new characters — “there have been some incredible performances so far,” Claffey raves of the new cast, which includes Lucy Boynton, Babou Ceesay and Peter Mullan — and staying true to the show’s lilting, gentle spirit.

As Parker puts it plainly, “We are going forward and telling the next story. We didn’t feel the need to stretch the story or to stretch the characters. We know who we are.”

He pauses for a moment, then continues. “Not really, but we pretend we do. Just like Dunk.”

This is a clip from The Tommy Tiernan Show. Throughout the audition process, he leaned into a more London-style accent, thinking it better matched the world, especially for a character coming from places like Flea Bottom. As a fan of Game of Thrones, he felt sticking with his natural accent might be a risk. Right up until filming, he expected to perform it that way. But in the end, he was told to drop the London accent and keep his Irish instead. It took him time to trust that decision, but it completely reshaped how he approached the character.
