Milly Alcock: 'House of the Dragon' Cast Member's Background and Other Shows/Movies
Wonderland
Alcock's first TV role was in the dramedy series Wonderland. She appeared in a single 2014 episode called "Narcissism," and was credited only as "Teen Girl 1." In the U.S., you can watch the series on Amazon Prime Video's Freevee service, which is free for Prime members with ads.
prevnextHigh Life
Alcock next landed a role in High Life – a drama miniseries where she co-starred with fellow rising fantasy star Madeleine Madden, among others. The show is a brutal story about class and mental illness. The show was licensed to the streaming service Fullscreen, but that company is not active anymore and it's not clear if you can watch High Life in the U.S.
prevnextJanet King
That same year, Alcock had a supporting role in the crime drama Janet King Season 3. In the U.S. you can stream Janet King on the Acorn TV app.
prevnextThe School
Alcock branched out in her next project – a horror film called The School directed and co-written by Storm Ashwood. In the weeks to come, House of the Dragon fans will see Rhaenyra commit atrocities and endure atrocities, yet The School may be even harder to watch. You can find it on digital stores to rent or purchase if you're interested.
prevnextA Place to Call Home
Alcock appeared in four episodes of the drama A Place to Call Home, which is streaming now on Acorn TV. The show ran from 2013 to 2018 with a total of 67 episodes, so unless you're on a completionist mission this may not be among her most essential performances.
prevnextPine Gap
Slightly more essential is the mystery miniseries Pine Gap, where Alcock first shared the screen with her House of the Dragon co-star Steve Toussaint. This is also one of the easier works to find in the U.S. – it is streaming now on Netflix, and there are just six episodes, each about one hour long.
prevnextFighting Season
Alcock was in all six episodes of the military family drama Fighting Season back in 2018. Her character was the daughter of the characters played by Kate Mulvaney and Ewen Leslie, both of whom are captains in the military. Fighting Season is available on Apple TV.
prevnextLes Norton
Alcock was only in a few episodes of the comedy miniseries Les Norton the following year. She appeared alongside Rebel Wilson, and she may still have untapped potential for humor. Les Norton is streaming on Crackle and Fubo TV.
prevnextThe Gloaming
Alcock teamed up with Leslie once again in 2020 for The Gloaming – a Starz original series that puts her right at the center of a gruesome mystery.
prevnextReckoning
Alcock starred in another violent thriller called Reckoning which aired originally in 2019. At the time of this writing, the series does not appear to be available in the U.S.
prevnextUpright
Finally, the series Alcock was best known for before House of the Dragon was Upright – a dramedy where she co-starred with Tim Minchin as a pair of odd traveling partners thrust together by fate. Fans looking for more Alcock will definitely want to check this one out. Here in the U.S., it is available on AMC+ or on Sundance Now. Otherwise, you can see Alcock on House of the Dragon every Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.
