A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2 Enters Pre‑Production with Shooting Set for Early 2026

HBO is moving forward with Season 2 of its highly anticipated A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which has officially entered pre‑production. Filming is expected to begin in early 2026, with the possibility of Seasons 2 and 3 shooting back‑to‑back to streamline production and ensure continuity across cast and crew.

Based on George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg, the series continues to expand the Game of Thrones universe with a more intimate, character-driven approach. While Season 1 focuses on adapting The Hedge Knight, Season 2 is poised to bring The Sworn Sword to life—introducing new settings, supporting characters, and deepening the relationship between Ser Duncan the Tall and his young squire, Egg, the future King Aegon V.

Showrunner Ira Parker is once again at the helm, working closely with Martin to preserve the tone and detail of the source material. HBO has reportedly committed to a three-season plan to cover the full trilogy of novellas, which allows the creative team to approach the narrative with a cohesive, long-term vision.

Filming locations are expected to include Belfast and various locations across the UK, known for their experienced crews and landscapes that have long brought Westeros to life. The production design will continue to embrace the medieval fantasy aesthetic that fans have come to expect, while costume, stunt, and VFX departments will have a wide canvas to innovate.

Departments across the board—production design, hair and makeup, practical effects, lighting, set construction, and post-production—should expect significant hiring activity as the project ramps up. The dual-season shoot will also create extended opportunities for crew retention and consistent on-set collaboration.

For aspiring crew members, actors, and vendors aiming to get involved, this is an ideal moment to track the project closely.

Season 2 is shaping up to be a standout opportunity for those ready to join the next chapter of Westeros.
