A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a new show set in the Game of Thrones world, is all about the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg, and it's finally coming out in late 2025. What's so special about this show is that it takes us back in time to another era in Westeros, many years before Game of Thrones.
George R.R. Martin, the mastermind of these stories, has announced some fantastic news: filming for a second season is already underway! This is noteworthy because it suggests that HBO has high hopes for the show, even before its broadcast.
The fact that they're already starting work on a second season so quickly shows that HBO believes this show is going to be a hit and will keep building the Game of Thrones universe even bigger.
Update on future seasons of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
The big news from George R.R. Martin is that they're currently working on a second season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. This is a great sign that HBO has high hopes for the show's potential for success, even before the premiere of the first season.
Martin told Collider that he is satisfied with the direction the first season took, saying that it stays true to his books and the cast is doing a wonderful job. Season two will probably be derived from The Sworn Sword, the second story in the Dunk & Egg series.
As Martin is part of the writing and producing team, we can be sure it will remain in line with his vision. Beginning production on a second season so soon indicates that HBO believes the series will be successful and contribute to the expansion of the Game of Thrones universe.
The series' tone and themes
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be a different tone from other Game of Thrones series. Martin states that it's shorter and written in a different tone, more on the characters and not on great battles or dragons. The series discusses concepts such as duty, honor, and chivalry, which make the series more about the characters in the series.
The change of tone is deliberate to make the series light and entertaining. Without the dragons and extensive special effects, it has a lower budget, which HBO prefers for lower-scale shows.
Background and Production
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes place from the books by George R.R. Martin, beginning with The Hedge Knight. The show focuses on Ser Duncan the Tall and his young squire Egg in the period when the Targaryens reign in Westeros.
Production for season one was completed in September 2024, and George R.R. Martin has already watched all six episodes. He appreciates how it remains faithful to his work. The show is produced by Martin and directed by Sarah Adina Smith and Owen Harris. This implies that the show will remain faithful to the original stories.
