Since HBO won’t announce the casting for Nettles(understandably), and because we are all going mad due to a lack of official news for her, I thought I would compose a list of all the actresses who could potentially be her.
(Shout out to @nettlesdefensesquad cause she found a lot of these actresses).
Take this whole list with a massive grain of salt because my criteria for this was Black(ish) British/Black(ish) actresses in British productions between the ages of 26-33 (according to some guy on Reddit, Nettles actress is 32, so I thought I’d be lenient with the age) who’s side profile sorta matches this picture of Nettles presumed actress in costume:
Keeping all that in mind, here’s our list:
1. Gabrielle Brooks
While her side profile does not really match the woman in the blurry photo, Gabrielle just turned 33, I believe she’s following/being followed by some of the HOTD cast, and she doesn’t appear to be working on any projects at the moment so we can’t rule her out 🤷🏽♀️
2. Yohanna Ephrem
Can’t find her exact age, but based on the side profiles it looks as if she could be a match and she appears not to be working on anything right now. She also doesn’t appear to have any social media so bonus points?
3. Marilyn Nnadebe
Marilyn is 32 and it appears like she is not working on any projects right now.
4. Jordan Loughran
People have been fan-casting her for years, but since she was used in a recent fancast, I decided to look her up, and lo and behold she’s 31! Jordan was already on a HBO show, Raised by Wolves, which also happens to be the same show Alyn’s actor(Abubakar Salim) was on so bonus points.
5. Lois Chimimba
The side profile isn’t that great of a match, but she is 31, about to be 32, and she doesn’t appear to be working on anything at the moment.
6. Tamaira Hesson
I can’t find a decent side profile pick and I can’t find Tamaira’s exact age, but under her playing age, it lists 20-30. She doesn’t appear to be working on any projects at the moment and besides LinkedIn, she doesn’t appear to have any social media.
7. Ronke Adekoluejo
Ronke is 31 and her side profile is kinda a match.
8. Meesha Turner
The side profiles aren’t that much of a match, but for the people who speculate that Nettles actress is tall, Meesha is 5’9.” She’s 32 and she’s not working on anything at the moment. (In fact back in October she left her role as Catherine Parr in the production Six the Musical).
9. Jasmine Rachelle
Can’t find her exact age, but she’s I don’t think she’s older than 25/26. Jasmine is 5’9.”
10. Sherelle Johnson
I can’t find her exact age(or a side profile pic), but her playing age range is between 18-28. I also don’t think she’s working on anything at the moment.
11. Crystal Clarke
Crystal’s last show Sanditon just ended and for the time being it does not look as if she has any other projects in the works. She is around 30.
(I would literally jump for joy if she was playing Nettles).
12. Gleanne Purcell-Brown
The profile isn’t dead on, but Glenne’s playing age is between 20-30. She doesn’t appear to be working on anything and she is 5’8.”
13. Lebogang Fisher
Her playing age is between 18-28. She doesn’t appear to be working on any projects at the moment.
14. Casey Al-Shaqsy
Casey’s playing age is between 19-25. She doesn’t appear to be working on any projects at the moment.
15. Lydia Fraser
Not a side profile picture, but Lydia’s playing age is between 20-35. She is currently working on a stage play though.
16. Yazzmin Newell
Her playing range is between 20-30. It doesn’t look as if she’s working on anything at the moment(her last series was canceled earlier this year). Steve Touissaint is also following her.
17. Madeleine Mantock
She was gearing up for a play back in June, but she’s 33 and 5’9.”
18. Tia Bannon
Not sure about her exact age, but she graduated with a BA back in 2015 so she fits the age range.
19. Danielle Vitalis
Honestly, this is another case of the side profile not really matching, but she fits the age range(play range is 16-30) so I’m adding her just to cover all our bases🤷🏽♀️
20. Karla Simone-Spence
Listen my behind knows she’s not going to play Nettles, but she follows Bethany on Instagram and she’s 27. Let me dream 😭
21. Natalie Simpson
Her playing age is 23-33(I think she’s in her early 30s).
22. Leah Haile
According to her Spotlight, she’s currently working on the Snow White movie that comes out next year, but I just thought I might include her. Her playing age is between 16-25.
23. Jessica Allain
Do the side profiles match? Probably not, but she’s 26 and pretty tall so I’m including her.
24. Thalissa Teixeira
Shes been fancasted as Nettles in the past and she’s in her early 30s and it doesn't look like she's really working on anything🤷🏽♀️
25. Shantol Jackson
Are the side profiles matching? Nope, but she is 31.
26. Sophia Brown
She's tall 5’ 8” and 31. I really couldn’t find a good side profile pic of Sophia, but I wouldn’t rule her out.
27. Zaraah Abrahams
She’s 36 so she’s a little out of the age range, but she looks young, again, we are covering all of our bases.
28. Razan Nassar
She’s on the young side(25), but she’s been in a show with Bethany Antonia(Get Even), hence the inclusion.
29. Simona Brown
She’s 29 and she doesn’t appear to be working on anything.
There are some actresses who are a bit too young so I didn’t include them, but in case Reddit guy was all the way off, Corinna Brown(who follows Bethany) and Coco Rebecca Edogamhe are good contenders.
This list is not extensive, so anyone with any suggestions feel free to add them 😊(please add them because your girl is desperate 😭).

Hello Flower. How are you? I know it's not really your thing (and if I'm bothering you, let me know). I think you can help me, I need ideas for a girl who would be the daughter of Rhaenys and Corlys Velaryon (legitimate). I really wanted to know WHICH actress you would see as Velaryon! I can't find anyone, but maybe asking for help, I can't find it? Thanks for making it this far, have a blessed day 🩵.
Flower, how gracious... i like that nickname 🥰 I'm doing great, how are you? I don't mind this kind of ask as I have done it several times & enjoy it if I can find any hahah. Okay so the first one & apparently only one atm that popped in my head was;
Jordan Loughran. She played Princess Ozma/ Tip in the series Emerald City. I just loved that series, unfortunate it is only 1 season as it got cancelled. Funny thing, the actress playing Rhaenys played Glinda the witch in there. Totally worth checking out as it gives more dept to the story [ imagine her with white hair ]
Hi, Can I ask for some female faceclaims with fantasy/medieval/period drama resources between 18-29 that could play Anna Shaffer‘s sister, please? Thank you!
Hi. It's a little late, but I'm finally here. I hope this helps you. I know most of the actresses listed are now older than the age you want, but they were in their 25s to 30s when they were playing. That's why I didn't mind.
Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Belle was 30 when the movie came out, it can easily be reduced to 29.)
Zoe Robins (The Wheel of Time)
Vanessa Morgan (The Shannara Chronicles)
Nathalie Emmanuel (Game Of Thrones)
Maisie Richardson-Sellers (Of Kings and Prophets)
Antonia Thomas (The Musketeers)
Madeleine Mantock (Into the bandlas, The Long Song)

Sheepstealer was eventually tamed by Nettles—a plain, baseborn, disreputable girl who fed the dragon mutton day by day until it became used to her. The dragon and its rider played their part in the war, but Nettles’s loyalties were not so clear as brave Ser Addam’s. When she and Prince Daemon became lovers, it drove a final wedge between Rhaenyra and her lord husband. Nettles—whom the prince fondly called Netty—outlived her prince as well as his wife. Nettles and the Sheepstealer vanished before the war’s end, and none could say where they went until years after...
... the wildlings of the mountains still tell tales of a "FIRE WITCH" who once dwelled in a hidden vale far from any road or village. One of the most savage of the mountain clan came to worship her, the storytellers say; youths would prove their courage by bringing gifts to her, and were only accounted men when they returned with burns to show that they had faced the dragon woman in her lair.
