Overview

• The delay was announced during Warner Bros. Discovery's upfront presentation, where a first-look trailer revealed the revised 2026 release timeline.
• HBO CEO Casey Bloys confirmed the series is set for a winter 2026 premiere, though no specific date has been provided yet.
• 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' is a six-episode adaptation of the novella 'The Hedge Knight,' focusing on Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg, set 100 years before Game of Thrones.
• The series is helmed by George R.R. Martin and Ira Parker, with a cast led by Peter Claffey as Dunk and Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg, alongside supporting Targaryen and Baratheon characters.
• This delay aligns with HBO's broader strategy, as House of the Dragon Season 3 is also expected in 2026, potentially offering two major releases in the same year.
