Final Trailer Sets A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for Jan. 18 Premiere as Season 2 Gears Up

The lighter, ground-level prequel uses a compact six-episode format from George R. R. Martin with Ira Parker as showrunner.

Overview

  • HBO unveiled the final trailer during its CCXP Brazil panel, showcasing a more comedic, character-first tone removed from palace intrigue.
  • The season consists of six roughly half-hour episodes, debuting Jan. 18 on HBO with weekly streaming on HBO Max.
  • Peter Claffey leads as Ser Duncan “Dunk” the Tall with Dexter Sol Ansell as his squire Egg in a tale set about a century before Game of Thrones.
  • George R. R. Martin and Ira Parker co-created and executive produce, and the series will skip the franchise’s grand title sequence to match Dunk’s plainspoken perspective.
  • HBO has renewed the series, and Parker said season 2 will begin production imminently in Belfast, with a 2027 return expected.
