"Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke hasn't watched HBO's hit prequel series, "House of the Dragon," and she currently has no plans to tune into the show.
"I'm so happy it's happening," Clarke quickly added, showing her support for former coshowrunner Miguel Sapochnik who directed some of the most critically acclaimed episodes of "Game of Thrones."
Clarke famously played Daenerys Targaryen on the eight-season HBO series.
Of why she can't watch the prequel, Clarke continued: "I just can't do it. It's so weird. It's so weird. It's so strange. It's kind of like someone saying, 'You want to go to this school reunion that's not your year?' You want to go back to that school reunion?' That's kind of how it feels."

If any "GoT" actor was going to tune into the prequel series, Clarke would make sense.
Set 172 years before the events of "Game of Thrones," "House of the Dragon" follows the Targaryens' rule in Westeros and the family drama that led to their eventual downfall.
