The one question haunting fans of House of the Dragon Season 2 is about the casting of Nettles and Sheepstealer. The cast has been finalized, but one major character, Nettles, is still nowhere to be found, puzzling fans. A dragonseed who rides the dragon Sheepstealer, Nettles is a key figure in the Dance of the Dragons. Consequently, her involvement adds more depth to the storyline.
So, let’s find out if House of the Dragon will include Nettles and her dragon, Sheepstealer, in Season 2.
Has Nettles been cast for House of the Dragon Season 2?
As of writing, Nettles has not been cast for House of the Dragon Season 2.
There is no news yet about the character being cast for the sophomore season. If included, she could affect the dynamics between Rhaenyra and Daemon. Nettles, a dragonseed from Blackwater Bay and the daughter of a dockyard sex worker, tames the dragon Sheepstealer by bribing him with sheep daily. Her involvement with Daemon leads to a rumored romance, causing tension with Rhaenyra. Albeit, Nettles escapes a death order from the Black Queen and disappears.
Will Nettles and Sheepstealer appear in House of the Dragon Season 2?
It’s uncertain whether Nettles and Sheepstealer will appear in House of the Dragon Season 2.
As per ScreenRant, Nettles and Sheepstealer may not be included in Season 2, but this information is unconfirmed as of yet. Sheepstealer is one of the few dragons that survived the Dance of the Dragons, making his presence significant in the lore. While he might make an appearance, it wouldn’t be as impactful without Nettles.
However, it could hint at new developments in future seasons. Nettles’ role is crucial as it intertwines with Daemon and Rhaenyra as well as the major events of the series. Thus, it makes her and Sheepstealer’s potential absence notable.
While new characters are joining the cast, the omission of Nettles and Sheepstealer is surprising given their importance in the source material, Fire & Blood. Their potential introduction in Season 3 remains a possibility, but including them earlier would provide greater narrative depth.
Nevertheless, fans will have to wait and see how the story unfolds in Season 2 and beyond. ComingSoon will provide an update if there are any changes to the casting of Nettles and Sheepstealer in The House of the Dragon Season 2.
