HBO Adds Lucy Boynton, Babou Ceesay and Peter Mullan to ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Season 2

Production is underway for a six-episode adaptation of The Sworn Sword set for a 2027 debut.

Overview

  • The official Game of Thrones account confirmed Boynton as Lady Rohanne, Ceesay as Ser Bennis, and Mullan as Ser Eustace Osgrey.
  • Season 2 draws from George R. R. Martin’s The Sworn Sword, continuing Dunk and Egg’s story roughly a year or two after the first season.
  • Shooting began in December in Belfast, with Spain added for sun-baked exteriors to portray a drought setting, per showrunner Ira Parker.
  • Parker says the new season holds at six episodes with an unchanged budget, keeping scope similar despite higher costs.
  • HBO cites strong momentum from Season 1, which earned about 14 million U.S. viewers (26 million worldwide) and a 94% Rotten Tomatoes critics score.
