Will there be a season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?

Yes, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been renewed for season 2, per a press release. The news was announced before the first season premiered.

In November 2025, HBO ordered a second season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and a fourth season of the other Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon.

In January 2026, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms series creator Ira Parker revealed to TV Insider that production was already underway, saying, "We’ve shot 10 days of Season 2."

"We [took] a month break for Christmas, and then for this and premiere week, and then we come back and do a lot of work," Parker continued. "So it’s a weird schedule, but I’m happy we got those 10 days in before. We’ve shot some very nice stuff."

What will A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 be about?

The series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is adapting the three novellas known as Tales of Dunk and Egg.

The first season was based on the first book, The Hedge Knight, and the second season is set to bring the next book, The Sworn Sword, to the screen.

In a February 2025 Deadline interview, HBO programming executive Francesca Orsi said the plan was to adapt all three of the novellas across the three-season series.

"You’re going be so impressed by Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell as Dunk and Egg, the two leads,” she said. "So much so that we’re already planning on how do we build this for the three seasons in total. We’re not picking it up officially, but it’s looking very good."

When will A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 premiere?

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 will premiere in 2027.

The two Game of Thrones prequel series will have alternating schedules in the coming years. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms debuted in January 2026, and House of the Dragon season 3 will return in June 2026.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will return in 2027 with season 2, followed by a fourth — and final — season of House of the Dragon in 2028.

"We are thrilled to be able to deliver new seasons of these two series for the next three years, for the legion of fans of the Game of Thrones universe,” Orsi said in a statement, per a press release. "Together, House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms reveal just how expansive and richly imagined George R. R. Martin’s universe continues to be."

Who will be in the cast of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2?

Claffey and Ansell are set to return to their reprise their roles of Dunk and Egg, respectively.

The rest of the season 2 ensemble hasn't been announced, but in a February 2026 interview with The A.V. Club, Parker briefly spoke about the actors joining the cast.

"We’re now getting into The Sworn Sword, which is my favorite novella in many ways, with Rohanne Webber or the Red Widow, Ser Bennis, and Ser Eustace, who are these classic characters," he explained. "I can’t say much but we have three absolutely brilliant actors coming in to do these roles."
