Obviously, the internet is going wild for the off-the-charts chemistry between the actors, who play a stepmother and daughter on the show. During season one, the queer vibes between Rhaenyra and Alicent led fans to believe there was something between the two characters. Their connection — which has left fans intrigued and eager for more — only becomes more apparent when you watch clips from their interview with the magazine and behind-the-scenes footage from the photoshoot.

Fans flocked to social media to lust after the queens of Westeros and talk about the heat between the stars. “Now kiss,” one person commented on the EW cover.

“Please confirm level of gayness so I can finally start watching,” another person posted, while someone else wrote, “Uhhuh yea this is becoming another TV series entirely and I’m here for it.”

“IM TELLING YALL!!!!! THERE IS YEARNING IN THEIR EYESSSSS MY SOURCE IS I JUST KNOWWWWW,” a comment wrote.

The palpable chemistry between the two is nothing new. During the press tour for the first season of House of the Dragon, a clip of D’Arcy and Cooke answering questions went viral when D’Arcy talked about their love of Negroni Sbagliatos.

After seeing cover shoot, we can’t wait to see the pair share the screen during the second season of the Game of Thrones prequel show!

House of the Dragon season two will premiere on HBO on June 16, 2024.
