Superman was the most anticipated movie of 2025 and now, in 2026, Supergirl is coming to the big screens. Milly Alcock, the talented actress, will appear in the titular role of the superhero in the movie. While the actress has previously appeared in several projects, Supergirl could be her career-defining role. While we wait for Kara Zor-El to arrive on screens, here are some of the best movies and TV shows featuring Milly Alcock to get you acquainted with the talented actress.

House of the Dragon gave Milly Alcock the most significant opportunity of her career. She portrayed the younger Rhaenyra, who is obviously the main protagonist and an influential character. House of the Dragon is the prequel to the ultra-popular Game of Thrones. It is set 200 years before the events of the latter and introduces us to the ancestors of our beloved characters from that show. It also makes us witness the political conflicts within the Targaryen dynasty that eventually led to the Civil War, called ‘Dance of the Dragons.’
For those who lost faith in GOT after the final season, you should definitely watch House of the Dragon because it can restore your confidence in the universe created by George R.R. Martin.

The television show suits you perfectly if you’re into road-trip dramas.

However, the tension rises when Devon realizes that there are many darker secrets that the coast hides that no one has ever suspected.
The television series is a perfect mix of glamour and thriller. To be honest, I loved Meghann Fahy in The Bold Type, and she was the sole reason for me to sign up for this series. But not only her, Milly Alcock also stole my attention in Sirens with her stellar performance.

She doesn’t have a major role in this, but she indeed leaves an impact whenever she appears.
Other Movies and TV Shows Milly Has Appeared In
Besides the above-mentioned projects, Milly has appeared in a couple more titles. However, those don’t see her in a prominent role. They are indeed a good watch, but you won’t be watching them for Milly. But you can still try them out if you love a good story. One of these shows is Janet King, which features Milly as Cindi Jackson, and she only appears in three episodes.
Other than that, there’s Les Norton, in which Milly takes on the role of Slan Galese. Finally, we have The School movie, which was released back in 2018. It stars Milly in a leading role (Jien), but unlike other shows we mentioned in the list, this one, honestly, isn’t that great. The movie has terrible ratings on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, but if you still want to watch it for Milly, you can very well do so.
