“If anything, we’re going to shine a light on that aspect. Miguel Sapochnik, the co-showrunner, said that the new show doesn’t shy away from sexual and gender-based violence. Conversations about boundaries are still happening on the upcoming Game of Thrones spinoff, House of Dragon.

And mango-esque.” After the Times asked Bean if intimacy coordinators protect actors, he said it “depends on the actress,” adding that Hall was “up for anything” because she had a background in cabaret. It’s a nice scene, quite surreal, dreamlike and abstract.
