We'll have to wait a bit longer than expected 🤪to see A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The next Game of Thrones spin-off was expected to air later this year, but promotional material for the show now indicates an early 2026 release.

The news of the delay came from the first-look trailer for the miniseries, which was shown during Warn🍌er Bros Discovery's presentation to advertisers at New York City this week. According to , the footage ended with a title card saying "2026", and HBO content chairman and CEO Casey Bloys narrowed that down by saying the show was coming in "winter".

That likely means we are talking about a January/February 2026 release date, but Max (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:now back to HBO Max) has yet to confirm𓃲 an spe﷽cific release date for the show.

A six-episode limited series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is an adaptation of George R.R. Martin's Tales of Dunk and E🌜gg novellas, which follow the adventures of Ser Duncaꦓn the Tall (aka Dunk) and Prince Aegon Targaryen (aka 'Egg'). The story is set 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones.

The cast for the show includes Peter Cl🧸affey as Dunk and Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg, with Fi🅠nn Bennett, Bertie Carvel and Daniel Ings playing supporting characters.

For now, we have only seen a few first-look images of the upcoming show, as we wait for an official first trailer to be released. What we do know is that Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin has seen all six🌳 episodes of A Knight of the Seve🅰n Kingdoms and he "loved" them. As he wrote in his blog last Janu𝓰ary: "It's as faithful an adaptation as a reasonable man could hope for (and you all know how incredibly reasonable I am on that particular subject)."

This is the second spin-off set in Westeros after House of the Dragon, which is now filming its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:House of the Dragon season 3.
