First Published: October 17, 2011 6:26 PM EDT Credit: WireImage LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Caption Lena Headey arrives at Spike TVs Scream Awards 2011 at Universal Studios Backlot, Hollywood, on October 15, 2011Production on the Belfast set of Game of Thrones Season 2 is rapidly coming to a close, and Lena Headey said big things are in store for her character, the controversial Queen Cersei Lannister. She is losing control because her son is totally out of control, Lena told Access Hollywood on Saturday at the Scream Awards, referring to Cerseis son, Joffrey, who is now king following the death of his father, Robert Baratheon, in Season 1 of the HBO show. I think she cant admit it to anybody, the actress continued, referring to Cerseis upcoming Season 2 predicament. Shes dying to ask for help, and she never will. After a brief trip to Los Angeles for the Scream Awards, where Game of Thrones was honored as Best Show, Lena is already on her way back to Belfast to wrap things up. Were on our last few episodes, she said of progress on Season 2. Joffrey is becoming more trouble. Its the young actor Jack Gleason who plays King Joffrey, a character, who like his mother Cersei is polarizing but central to the thrilling drama. Jack Gleason is adorable, and just so good at being a little sh**, she laughed, complimenting her co-star. Hes so good at being terrible. With Sean Beans Ned Stark out of the picture, following his execution at the hands of the new teen king, Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) is headed back to Kings Landing in Season 2, having just been appointed the Hand of the King. The move, of course, will put The Imp right in Cerseis path, material Lena has sunk her teeth into. This season theres a big arc with Cersei and Tyrions relationship, which is really interesting, because its love/hate there, totally, she told Access. Its been really fun filming all those scenes, and theres just a lot more drama this year. While one of Cerseis brothers is in Kings Landing, the other her twin and lover Jamie Lannister, is now in the hands of The Starks and Lena said that does funny things to her character. There is a slightly incestuous relationship, which is very wrong, but its the way she was brought up. Shes a little crazy under thesurface, Lena said. Second season, Im getting to explore that a bit more, which is good, because I like the crazy. Season 2 of Game of Thrones returns to HBO in 2012. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc.
