Jace Falls in Battle of the Gullet

House of the Dragon drops a brutal season opener: Rhaenyra loses another son, Jace Velaryon, in a chaotic pirate ambush where his dragon Vermax is slain by a ballista. Actor Harry Collett reveals the harrowing physicality of filming Jace’s death — acting dead while staying afloat, eyes open, no coughing — all while knowing his character’s fate was rushed to the premiere. With Lucerys already gone last season, Rhaenyra now faces the grim reality of losing more children, leaving her with just three sons and Daemon as the season’s escalating war looms.
