Cooke wrapped up her posts with a light-hearted selfie in her character’s dress, cheekily captioned, “Ta, see you in 2 years xo,” referencing the long wait between seasons.
Cooke wasn’t the only cast member sharing behind-the-scenes fun. Tom Glynn-Carney also posted some backstage moments, showcasing his burn makeup from later in the series. His humorous caption hinted at his struggle to figure out how to upload the pictures, much to the amusement of fans.
Other cast members, including Matt Smith, who plays Daemon Targaryen, got in on the action too. Smith shared a photo with Fabien Frankel, showing them smoking and posing with a creepy doll. He also posted a funny snap of Rhys Ifans, who portrays Otto Hightower, lounging on the Iron Throne while casually flipping off the camera.
