We were gearing up to celebrate more Game of Thrones coming our way in 2025. Warner Bros. Discovery executives told us over and over again that the new Game of Thrones spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, would arrive this year. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms footage was even featured in a teaser trailer for Max’s 2025 slate. But alas. There will not be more Game of Thrones in 2025, not even A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Instead, at upfronts this year, HBO revealed that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has shifted its release date to 2026. Here’s what we learned.
Per Variety, at its upfront presentation, HBO showed the audience a first look at A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. At the end of this sneak peek footage of the Game of Thrones series, a title card noted the year “2026.” And HBO content chairman and CEO Casey Bloys confirmed the 2026 release date shift for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, saying the show would arrive in the “winter.” That does seem to indicate an early 2026 release. But still! We were ready for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to release in 2025.
No official release date was ever set for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, but now we know that release date will end with a 6. It felt like the show was nearly on its way to being done. Even G.R.R. Martin was happy with it! But we guess it needed just a little more time to cook. We wouldn’t want to find a raw egg on our plates, after all. That would not be appetizing.
The Game of Thrones spinoff has at least shared its official logline. From HBO, here is what A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be all about whenever its release date arrives.
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.
We can’t wait to know more about it soon… we hope!
