From Game Of Thrones to Shadow And Bone: Irish star Danielle Galligan on Netflix's new series

On her first day on the set of Netflix’s big budget new fantasy series Shadow and Bone, Dublin actress Danielle Galligan was overcome with déjà vu. In 2018, she had gone to Belfast for a small role in the final season of Game of Thrones (playing Sarra, part of the retinue at House Stark). Walking onto the hulking sound stage of another blockbuster fantasy saga brought the memories rushing back.
“There’s no substitute for the first time you step onto a set that size,” she says over Zoom from her base in London. “That is something I was totally blinded-sided by. And with Game of Thrones, I was only there for a week and on camera for 24 hours. With Shadow and Bone, it was something I found similar. You are turning around in Budapest and there are 30 people there.”
