Game of Thrones Movie Scheduled for Release in 2029

HBO’s Game of Thrones is heading to movie theaters. Warner Bros. announced Tuesday that the first feature film in the George R.R. Martin-created franchise, titled Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest, will hit cinemas in spring 2029.

Director Owen Harris will helm the first movie in the franchise. Harris previously directed three episodes of HBO’s television series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which include “The Hedge Knight,” “Hard Salt Beef,” and the action-packed “In the Name of the Mother,” which featured the bloody Trial of Seven. Beau Willimon is writing the movie. Willimon created and wrote Netflix’s House of Cards and wrote six episodes of Star Wars’ Andor, including the highly regarded jailbreak story “One Way Out.”

What is Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest about?

Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest focuses on Aegon I, the first Lord of the Seven Kingdoms who founded the Targaryen dynasty. Aegon I the Conqueror is the first king of the Targaryen dynasty, having united Westeros with his dragons Balerion, Meraxes, and Vhagar. The events of Aegon’s Conquest take place roughly 100 years before House of the Dragon and 300 years before Game of Thrones.

Warner Bros. did not announce casting or production details.

Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest will be released in theaters on June 1, 2029. The franchise will continue on television in 2027 with the release of season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The fourth and final season of House of the Dragon is expected to arrive in 2028.
