A visual effects flub from the latest episode of House of the Dragon is coming straight to HBO soon.
During the third episode of the Game of Thrones prequel series, “Second of His Name,” which aired on Sunday, viewers spotted a VFX gaffe during a scene with King Viserys, played by Paddy Considine . The character is missing two fingers on his left hand, but in one scene, the fingers were visible and wrapped in a green cover to be digitally removed later.
The Hollywood Reporter has learned from a source with knowledge of the situation that the episode will be edited, with the revised version hitting streaming platforms later in the week.
This scene reminded social media users of the infamous Game of Thrones moment from the fourth episode of the final season that aired in 2019, when a Starbucks cup was accidentally left on a table in one scene.
House of the Dragon co-showrunner Ryan Condal told THR before the start of this first season that the show’s team was careful to prevent a similar incident. He quipped that the series had “a very heavily policed setting – there was a lot of Starbucks hunting going on”.
