Nicholas Hoult is returning to Hulu in Mosquito, a six-episode dramedy co-starring Daisy Edgar-Jones. Production has begun in the UK, and the newly announced cast adds several familiar faces. This update covers the series’ premise, cast and production status.
Hoult previously starred as Peter III in Hulu’s historical drama The Great, created by Tony McNamara, who is reuniting with him for Mosquito. Edgar-Jones, known for Hulu’s Normal People, plays Kate opposite Hoult’s Ed. The recently married couple’s life begins to unravel as dark secrets emerge, with one blood-sucking insect setting events in motion. Mosquito is a dramedy about a marriage disrupted by secrets and an insect.
The ensemble includes Kyle Soller as Hunter, Ed’s half-brother and business partner; Phoebe Fox as their cousin and co-worker, Gail; and Francis Magee as Viktor, a longtime employee with a grudge. Belinda Bromilow plays Kate’s boss, Agnes, while John Macmillan and Liv Hill play her co-workers Brian and Georgie. Akshay Khanna plays Will, Kate’s university friend, and Phoebe Campbell plays Will’s wife, Cressida. Bamshad Abedi Amin plays Gail’s PhD supervisor, and Den Rasaq plays Kate’s rival at work. The six-episode miniseries is in production in the UK, and no release date has been announced. Mosquito pairs a newly married couple with a supporting cast connected through work, family and friendship.

Game of Thrones · HBO · 2011 to 2019
House Stark
House Stark belongs in the North, where the weather does most of the arguing and titles impress few people. The Starks value doing what is right over winning, a principle that repeatedly puts them at odds with the political world around them.
Stark loyalty is directed toward people rather than crowns, and the house values an honest defeat over a victory that must be hidden.
The Stark family’s commitment to keeping its word contrasts with rivals who treat promises as opening bids.
Stark caution looks ahead to winter while others are still enjoying summer, even when the realm does not reward that foresight.
The Stark children develop into different kinds of formidable survivors, showing that the family’s strength is not limited to swords.

House Lannister
House Lannister uses wealth, reputation and leverage to shape events. At Casterly Rock, influence comes from knowing what others owe and how to use that advantage.
Lannister strategy favours long-term influence and quiet control over a public victory.
Family loyalty can be both the house’s greatest strength and its most dangerous weakness.
Tyrion, Jaime and Cersei are complex characters shaped by privilege and the expectations of their family.
A Lannister can see themselves not as a villain but as someone who understands the rules and chooses to use them.
House Targaryen conquered a continent and holds a powerful sense of entitlement to rule. The family’s certainty can appear magnificent or lead to catastrophe, depending on the circumstances.
Targaryens are portrayed as intense characters who rarely seem measured.
House of the Dragon centres its family conflict on divisions within the Targaryen bloodline.
The source describes Season 3 as arriving on HBO in June 2026 and bringing the civil war into a consequential phase.
A Targaryen’s conviction that they are destined to prevail can be both a source of strength and a serious liability.

House Tyrell
House Tyrell rules from Highgarden and combines generosity, charm and political influence. The family’s approach is to feed the realm and guide its decisions without relying on battlefield victories.
House Tyrell treats likability as a source of influence and uses charm where others rely on fear.
Olenna is presented as a quietly ruthless character whose influence does not depend on force.
The Tyrells build power by being useful, including through their role in feeding the kingdom.
Charm can lose its influence when someone no longer cares about others’ opinions.
