Is Season 2 Officially Confirmed?
Absolutely — and HBO moved fast. HBO renewed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for Season 2 in November 2025, even before the first season premiered on January 18, 2026. That’s a level of confidence that only comes when a network knows it has something very special on its hands.
Filming for Season 2 started in December 2025, meaning production on the follow-up was well underway before the show had even aired its premiere episode. In January 2026, showrunner Ira Parker revealed they were already cutting scenes together — an exciting sign for a 2027 release well on track.
What Will Season 2 Be About?
Showrunner Ira Parker confirmed that Season 2 will adapt The Sworn Sword — George R.R. Martin’s second novella in the Tales of Dunk and Egg series.
Set in 211 AC — about a year and a half after Season 1 — Dunk and Egg will serve a knight named Ser Eustace Osgrey at his stronghold, Standfast, in the Reach. A severe drought has created a bitter land dispute with the neighbouring Lady Rohanne Webber, the infamous “Red Widow,” which Dunk will be forced to resolve. Expect political tension, moral grey areas, and the same buddy-comedy heart that made Season 1 so irresistible.
Season 2 will also delve deeper into the history of the Blackfyre Rebellion and explore key locations including Dorne and the Reach.
Who’s Returning & Who’s New?
Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell are the only two confirmed returning cast members so far, as The Sworn Sword novella features an entirely new supporting cast around the returning duo.
Showrunner Ira Parker has teased that “three absolutely brilliant actors” are joining to play Rohanne Webber, Ser Bennis, and Ser Eustace — and he’s excited about all three. Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody) has been rumoured for Lady Rohanne Webber, though nothing is confirmed yet.
Season 2 will also introduce someone playing Daemon Blackfyre, a pivotal figure from Westeros history — and a character fans of the wider lore have wanted to see for years. Head to our complete Game of Thrones universe breakdown on TechnoSports for the full Blackfyre Rebellion backstory.
How Many Seasons Will It Run?
Showrunner Ira Parker has said he’d happily do 12–15 seasons adapting Martin’s outlines, and HBO appears committed to making Dunk and Egg’s adventures a yearly tradition as long as young Dexter Sol Ansell’s age allows. A Season 3 is widely expected, with Seasons 2 and 3 reportedly filming back-to-back in Belfast.
