Everything We Know About Emilia Clarke’s Upcoming Projects (and Whether There’s Any Sex or Nudity) (Patreon)

Let’s be honest — Emilia Clarke hasn’t had a breakout role like Game of Thrones in years. And yeah, ever since her nude scenes in that show, people still wonder: is she ever going to go bold like that again?

Now she’s got a few upcoming projects, and some of them actually sound promising. So here’s a straight-up breakdown of what’s coming, what roles she’s playing, and if there’s any chance we’re getting sex, nudity, or anything wild — based on the studios, directors, and their track records.

1. An Ideal Wife

Status: Pre-production

Plot: Emilia plays Constance Lloyd — Oscar Wilde’s wife — who goes through a sexual awakening after discovering Wilde is gay.

Nudity/Sex Potential: Medium.Director Sophie Hyde has done emotional, indie-style films with queer themes (52 Tuesdays had intimacy and identity stuff). This biopic sounds respectful and personal, not erotic. Still, there could be some lesbian elements, but don’t expect Clarke to get fully naked again. It’ll be more "tasteful awakening" than "Game of Thrones wild."

2. Next Life

Status: TBA

Plot: Sci-fi romance set in modern London’s jazz scene. Emilia plays Ivy, who discovers alternate realities and different versions of love.

Nudity/Sex Potential: Medium.Director Drake Doremus (Like Crazy, Equals) leans into sensual storytelling. His stuff is slow-burn, intimate, and emotional. This one won’t be graphic, but you might see Clarke in some romantic, semi-steamy scenes — nothing wild, but not totally PG either.

3. Criminal (Amazon Prime Video)

Status: Expected 2025

Plot: Set in 1940s Hollywood. Emilia plays Mallory, a struggling actress who gets pulled into a murder and noir-style drama.

Nudity/Sex Potential: Low to Medium.Amazon can go both ways — sometimes they play it safe, other times they don't hold back (The Boys, Daisy Jones & The Six). Noir stories always have room for steamy stuff, especially with a femme fatale vibe. But right now, no confirmation on how far they’re going here.

4. Ponies (Peacock)

Status: In production, expected 2026

Plot: Emilia plays Bea, a CIA agent undercover in 1970s Moscow.

Nudity/Sex Potential: Low.It’s Peacock — one of the more PG-13 platforms. Spy thrillers can have adult moments, but don’t expect nudity or anything intense here. This will probably be all tension and no payoff when it comes to romance.

Right now, Emilia Clarke isn’t signed onto anything that screams full-on nudity or sex scenes like Game of Thrones. But a couple projects — especially Next Life and An Ideal Wife — have some potential for intimate, sensual scenes depending on how the directors handle it.
