The story of Ser Duncan and Egg continues in Season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms . Everything you need to know about the continuation of the prequel series of Game of Thrones is covered in this article.
What is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? The HBO-produced series takes place about 100 years before Game of Thrones and tells the story of the knight Ser Duncan and his squire “Egg”.
The first season premiered on January 19, 2026 on HBO Max. A second season has already been announced and continues the story.
When is the release of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2? Currently, there is no exact date for the start of the second season. However, filming has already begun, so fans can expect a release in 2027.
Is there a book adaptation? The first season was based on the first novella, “The Hedge Knight”. Consequently, the second season adapts the second of three novellas. It is called “The Sworn Sword”.
Is there a trailer? Since filming has just begun, there is no footage from the continuation of the series yet. However, the trailer for the first season also provides a good impression:
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2: Stream, Episodes, and Seasons
Where can you stream the series? Just like Season 1, the continuation will also land directly on the streaming service HBO Max, which has been available in Germany since January 2026. The episodes of the first season were released weekly, so that is also to be expected for Season 2.
How many episodes and seasons will there be? Just like Season 1, the second will also contain six episodes, each lasting about half an hour.
The underlying novella is to be adapted closely. Showrunner Ira Parker told IGN:
We are sticking quite closely to the book again. There are a few minor deviations here and there, but we already did that often in Season 1. Everything should naturally fit into the world and Dunk’s perspective.
The third novella, “The Mystery Knight,” will be adapted in the third season. If the creators keep the rhythm, we can expect the series finale in 2028.
Apart from that, George R.R. Martin is already thinking about more stories with the mismatched duo Dunk and Egg (via winteriscoming.net). Therefore, more seasons in the future are not out of the question.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2: Plot
What is the second season about? In Season 1, Dunk and Egg met. The continuation takes place some time later. The duo encounters new characters on their adventures, including Lady Rohanne Webber. She is also known as the “Red Widow” and is referred to by many as a witch, allegedly responsible for the deaths of her first four husbands.
The politically savvy ruler is in conflict with the knight Ser Eustace Osgray, to whom Duncan pledges his loyalty.
As showrunner Ira Parker revealed to IGN, the second season will focus on themes such as blind loyalty. In the first season, according to him, it was mainly about fathers and sons, and what is passed on to the next generation.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Cast
Who stars in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2? Fans can, of course, look forward to the return of the two lead actors Peter Claffey as Duncan and Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg.
No cast members have been officially confirmed yet besides them. However, rumors are swirling about Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody), who is said to play Lady Rohanne Webber.
As soon as we know more about the cast from official sources, we will update this article. Now it’s your turn: What are your expectations for the second season of the HBO series?

MeinMMO editor Niko Hernes was already impressed by the first season: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is not a new Game of Thrones, but that’s a good thing
