A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms just wrapped up its first season, and fans are already wondering whether it will be renewed or canceled for Season 2. Given that there are two more novellas to adapt from the series it is based on, has HBO green-lit additional seasons?
Here are the details about the show’s future.
Is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms renewed for Season 2?
HBO had renewed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2 long before the first season premiered.
In an early 2025 interview with Deadline, Francesca Orsi, HBO’s EVP and Head of Drama, HBO Programming, said they plan to produce three seasons. She said, “You’re going be so impressed by Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell as Dunk and Egg, the two leads. 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.”
Created by Ira Parker and George R. R. Martin, the series adapts the first novella in Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg series, The Hedge Knight. To remain faithful to the source material, the first season comprised only six episodes, averaging 30-40 minutes each. If the showrunners follow a similar pattern, it is reasonable to expect Season 2 to arrive sometime in 2027.
While the show offers a more grounded look at Westeros, the Game of Thrones spin-off continues the tradition of delivering an immersive world with fascinating characters. Fans have religiously shown up every week to watch new episodes. As a result, the show has reportedly garnered roughly 13 million viewers per episode (via Variety).
The story takes place between the events of House Of The Dragon and Game of Thrones. It follows Ser “Dunk” Duncan the Tall, a hedge knight, and his squire, Egg, as he sets out to make a name for himself. It features Peter Claffey as Dunk and Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg.
Meanwhile, fans can check out House of the Dragon Season 3, which is premiering in June 2026.
