Game of Thrones fans have a fresh prequel to get excited about! A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms welcomes viewers back to a Westeros around a century before the original series takes place.
With only one episode out so far, the show has already gathered positive reviews from critics and fan enthusiasm. Is that enough to guarantee a season 2?
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2 Release Date
If you enjoyed the premiere of A Knight of the Seven Kingdom, there are plenty more episodes to come. The series has been renewed for season 2 a couple of months ago, so the wait between installments shouldn’t be long either.
In fact, production is already underway. “We take you in on a little bit of a lighter, more friendly path to Westeros. You get to hang out and enjoy yourself for a little bit and then it becomes Westeros and then things are gonna happen,” showrunner Ira Parker teased.
If all goes according to plan, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 will arrive in early 2027. Until then, there’s still House of the Dragon season 3 to look forward to, which is expected to drop during the summer.

What Could Happen in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2?
A fantasy drama, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is set roughly 100 years before Game of Thrones and about 70 years after the Targaryen civil war at the heart of House of the Dragon. It’s based on George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas, beloved by the fanbase.
The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall (“Dunk”), a humble hedge knight, and his unexpected squire, nicknamed “Egg.” They journey across Westeros, stumbling into adventure, danger, and political intrigue.
Dunk seeks to make his name in the world while staying true to his ideals of chivalry and justice. Naturally, those qualities often land him in trouble. Egg, meanwhile, is a spirited boy hiding a secret identity. They forge a bond that challenges both of them to grow in a realm of shifting loyalties.
The first season adapts The Hedge Knight and centres on a grand tournament. We expect the show to blend heartfelt character moments with classic Westerosi drama. If you wanted world-building that expands beyond the Iron Throne’s shadow, the series should be right up your alley.
As for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2, it will continue Dunk and Egg’s story, probably adapting the second novella, The Sworn Sword. You can always get ahead of the narrative by checking out the source material.
