Lena Heady is best known for her role as Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones, but now, her newest role will give her a fresh but familiar look.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although Lena Heady is best known for her portrayal of Game of Thrones' villainous Cersei Lannister, her newest television role in Beacon 23 is the perfect follow up, that will both put Heady back in the spotlight and allow her strengths to shine through. For eight seasons, Heady portrayed the sometimes villain, sometimes hero Cersei Lannister.
Luckily, Lena Heady has the chance to redefine herself as she returns to the screen in Beacon 23. The science fiction show is based on a short story series of the same name, written by Hugh Howey, and is set to be released in November 2023. It follows Heady's character Aster and Stephan James' Halan as they become trapped at the end of the known universe. Though their lives become entangled, trust cannot be easily given, leading to a tense story filled with mystery and danger.
While some actors benefit from taking roles that are vastly different from what they've previously done, Heady's role as Aster being similar to Cersei is actually a good choice. Since audiences are already familiar with Heady's impressive performance as Cersei, it will be more exciting and gratifiying for them to see her in a similar state rather than in something entirely different or opposite.
How Lena Headey's Beacon 23 Character Can Use Cersei To Subvert Expectations Another great aspect of Aster being similar to Cersei is that it will subvert expectations. Game of Thrones fans may watch Beacon 23 and immediately see connections between Cersei and Aster. From there, they will assume that Aster is the bad guy. However, if Aster turns out to be more heroic than she originally seems, then this will come as an exciting shock to viewers.
