‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Finale Teases What’s Next as HBO Locks In Season 2

Showrunner Ira Parker says a small TV-only tease will be resolved without abandoning the novellas’ self-contained design.

Overview

  • HBO has ordered a second season, with trade reporting pointing to a 2027 release window.
  • The season finale adds a brief connective element created for television that Parker says "will be addressed" next season.
  • Reporting indicates season 2 will adapt George R. R. Martin’s The Sworn Sword, with the finale’s tease hinting at slightly more continuity than the books.
  • Parker has floated an ambitious, years-spanning plan to tell up to 12 Dunk & Egg stories, presented as a goal rather than a greenlit roadmap.
  • The series draws primarily from three published novellas, and Parker notes Martin has shared additional outlines and is reported to be writing at least one more story.
