HBO Confirms Release Window for Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2

With the first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and the third season of House of the Dragon airing this year, Game of Thrones fans could be left out in the cold in 2027. The Mad King stage play will have a production in London next year, but television audiences needed an update. HBO has just provided a status report on the future of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Talking to Deadline following the Emmys, HBO boss Casey Bloys shared updates on several shows. Bloys stated that the second season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is coming out in the first half of 2027. The show premiered in January 2026, meaning the gap between seasons will be a year and a half at most.

This timeline is faster than House of the Dragon, which maintained a two-year gap between seasons. Game of Thrones previously released a new season every year except for the final wait, so A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is returning to that schedule. House of the Dragon starts shooting season 4 next spring and will likely not release until 2028.

What we know about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2

The first season of the prequel series adapted the entirety of George R.R. Martin’s 1998 novella The Hedge Knight. The second season will adapt The Sworn Sword, which follows the adventures of Ser Dunk the Tall and his squire Egg, who is revealed as Westeros king-to-be Aegon Targaryen V.

If the show reaches season 3, it will adapt the third book in the series, The Mystery Knight. Showrunner Ira Parker confirmed to Polygon that Martin is writing a fourth book. If the television series continues past season 3, it will likely need to create original material just as Game of Thrones did. For now, fans know that season 2 is officially happening.
