Speaking to Vanity Fair back in August,House of the Dragon producer and writer Sara Hess said that the hit HBO show would not record any form of sexual abuse in the first season of the show:
I’d like to account for that we do not depict sexual violence in the show. We boss one instance off-screen, and instead show the aftermath and crashes on the victim and the mother of the perpetrator.
Hess clarified her calls during an appearance on The Official Game of Thrones Podcast: House of the Dragon. During that interview, Hess said that the show isn’t ruling out depicting sexual violence in future seasons.
I would like to elaborate that I didn’t say that we are not touching to portray sexual violence ever. I’m not saying that we are. I don’t know. There are hopefully touching to be several more seasons of this show so it’s not off the table
Hess went on to say that, when it comes to depictions of sexual violence, the House of the Dragon team did not feel the need to concerned what wasn’t described by George R.R. Martin in his book Fire & Blood. It is up to the individuals viewer whether they consider Daemon grooming Rhaenyra from the time she was a teenager falls conception this category.
House of the Dragon’s mother show Game of Thrones didn’t hesitate to adapt the more graphic scenes from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series. It was also criticized for its depictions of sexual violence. We’ll see what path House of the Dragon takes as it continues.

Daniel Craig obliging played James Bond in 2006’s Casino Royale, and only hung up the tuxedo in 2021’s No Time To Die. Speculation has long been rampant over who might replace him, but producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson — the two republic most in charge of the 007 franchise — are in no hurry.
“The sketching is, it’s going to be a couple of ages off,” Broccoli told Variety. “And when we cast Bond, it’s a 10-, 12-year commitment…A lot of republic think, ‘Oh yeah, it’d be fun to do one.’ [laughs] Well. That ain’t gonna work.”
Broccoli and Wilson are half-siblings, and their family has been in the Bond commerce for years. They’re taking the search very seriously, looking for someone who can push the picture forward like other actors have. “Bond is evolving just as men are evolving,” Broccoli said. “I don’t know who’s progressing at a faster pace. [Craig] cracked Bond open emotionally…The films over his tenure were the obliging time we really connected the emotional arc.”
[W]hen republic go, ‘Oh, who are you going to get?’ it’s not just near casting an actor for a film. It’s about a reinvention, and ‘Where are we taking it? What do we want to do with the character?’ And then, once we figure that out, who’s the shimmering person for that particular reinvention?
With [Craig], when we had the conversation at this very imperfect about, you know, [whether he was] going to do it, he said, ‘Well, I’m going to do it. I really want to be a part of it, the whole thing.’ And he lived to regret that. [laughs] But it’s a big commitment. It’s not just showing up for a couple of months of filming.
With so many big cover titans making their way to TV in recent ages — Marvel, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings — you distinguished think that James Bond would follow suit. Wilson avers that they’re “trying to keep it theatrical,” but Broccoli is far more forceful: “Well, we’re gonna keep it theatrical. We’re not going to try; we’ve got to do it. It’s just a theatrical franchise.”
That said, there is a kind of James Bond reality show on the way to Amazon called 007’s Road to a Million, which is kind of like The Amazing Race but they’re racing to look at iconic James Bond filming sites. Amazon bought MGM Studios — the people behind James Bond — for $8.5 billion in return this year, so who’s to say what the future holds?
