A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms showrunner Ira Parker says production for season 2 is well underway, and that it adapts not only the second Dunk and Egg novella, but his favorite one of the three.
"We're now getting into The Sworn Sword, which is my favorite novella in many ways, with Rohanne Webber or the Red Widow, Ser Bennis, and Ser Eustace, who are these classic characters," Parker told The A.V. Club. "I can't say much but we have three absolutely brilliant actors coming in to do these roles. I'm excited. We are cutting some scenes together now, and the directors are seeing some of it, so it feels nice to see [season 2] slowly come together. The show coming out at the same time as we work on it has been a blessing in many ways. It allows you to do what Dunk does by putting one foot in front of the other to focus on the work instead of just focusing on the response."
Season 1 adapted the events of The Hedge Knight, the first Dunk and Egg Novella. The Sworn Sword takes place a year and a half after The Hedge Knight, and it finds Dunk and Egg in Standfast, a towerhouse in the Reach. Dunk has sworn his sword to Ser Eustace Osgrey of Standfast, and finds himself in the middle of a conflict between Lady Rohanne and Ser Bennis of the Brown Shield. Let's just say there's some more trial by combat.
HBO renewed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in November 2025, some two months before the series premiered. With the series finale airing on Sunday, we can (hopefully) expect a season 3 announcement fairly soon.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms airs weekly on HBO and HBO Max in the US and Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK. For more, check out our A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms release schedule, or read our A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms review.
