‘Game of Thrones' spinoff ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' just got delayed — and now I'm worried about ‘House of the Dragon' season 3
Sorry, Dunk and Egg fans — 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' is no longer slated for release in 2025. Despite assertions from Warner Bros. Discovery execs that the next 'Game of Thrones' spinoff would be coming our way at some point this year, that's no longer the case. This news comes from WBD's upfront presentation on Wednesday, where (per Variety), we know that advertisers were given a first look at the 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' trailer (and before you ask, no, that trailer's not made it into the wild yet). The publication reports that the footage ended with a card confirming that the series would drop in 2026. HBO content chairman Casey Bloys narrowed that release window down a little further. When cuing the teaser on-stage at Madison Square Garden, he said the spinoff was coming in the 'winter,' which hopefully means the series will at least air very early in 2026. Admittedly, we didn't have a precise release date for 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' up until now (just the expectation that it was coming in 2025), but it's still disappointing news — and it's also got me worried about another Max series altogether. Given the nature of George R.R. Martin's 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' stories, it seemed to be the perfect, smaller-in-scope series to keep us immersed in Westeros between seasons of the 'Game of Thrones' prequel series 'House of the Dragon.'

And while I still think that's probably the core aim here, I can't help but be a little worried that this delay could mean the wait for 'House of the Dragon' season 3 could be even longer than expected. Back in March, we learned that 'House of the Dragon' season 3 had entered production and would be filming in the U.K. (in Hertfordshire and North Wales) between March and October of this year. At the time, showrunner Ryan Condal also teased that the third season was 'huger' than what we've seen from the show so far. So far, we've waited roughly two years between seasons and have seen new installments of 'House of the Dragon' in the summer, so I was working under the assumption that a summer 2026 release would be a likely window. But if we consider the season's bigger scope, HBO surely wants to give 'Game of Thrones' spinoff plenty of time in the sun, and the info that the third season is expected to be filming through to October, I'm concerned we won't be reunited with Rhaenyra, Alicent, Daemon and the rest of the "House of the Dragon" crew for a while yet. Hopefully, I'll be proven wrong when HBO shares confirmed release dates for both shows. In the meantime, if you need something new to watch while you wait for more spinoff news, you can check out our guide to the best Max shows you can stream on the service.

"Game of Thrones" Spinoff "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" Shifts Premiere Window
Yara Sameh 'Game of Thrones' fans will have to wait a while longer to head back to Westeros, as the premiere of the new spinoff series 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' has now been slated for 2026. While no official premiere date was ever set, Warner Bros. Discovery execs had previously said that the series, the second HBO prequel to 'Game of Thrones' following 'House of the Dragon,' would air by the end of 2025. On Wednesday, the news of the show's push to 2026 was revealed via a first look at the 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' trailer that was shown during WBD's upfront presentation to advertisers at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The title card at the end of the footage said '2026,' but HBO content chairman and CEO Casey Bloys narrowed that down further on stage by saying the show was coming in the 'winter' when he cued up the teaser, indicating an early 2026 release. HBO has not announced a premiere window for the third season of 'House of the Dragon,' which is currently in production and has been confirmed as the penultimate in a four-season run. 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' is adapted from George R.R. Martin's novella 'The Hedge Knight,' and will follow the exploits of the knight Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his young squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), roughly 100 years before the events of 'Game of Thrones' and 100 years after the events of 'House of the Dragon.' Dunk and Egg's journey will take them to a competition in which they encounter several members of the Targaryen dynasty — including Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett), Prince Baelor Targaryen (Bertie Carvel) and Prince Maekar Targaryen (Sam Spruell) — along with another knight known as the Laughing Storm, Ser Lyonel Baratheon (Daniel Ings), and a puppeteer named Tanselle (Tanzyn Crawford). The full logline for the series reads: 'A century before the events of 'Game of Thrones,' two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.' 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' is written and executive produced by Martin and Ira Parker ('The Sympathizer,' 'House of the Dragon'). Ryan Condal (the showrunner and co-creator of HBO's 'House of the Dragon'), Vince Gerardis, Owen Harris, and Sarah Bradshaw are executive producing. Sarah Adina Smith ('Lessons In Chemistry,' 'Hanna') will direct three of the six episodes for Season 1; executive producer Harris will direct the other three episodes. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War
