Game of Thrones Spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Reportedly Wraps Production

The Game of Thrones spinoff series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight has apparently wrapped production. Shooting on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms began back in June, and production mostly took place in Northern Belfast, Ireland. There are only six episodes slated for the first season of The Hedge Knight, so that timeline of production tracks.

 There will likely be additional months needed for reshoots or pickups that are needed, as well as post-production (visual effects, editing). That creates an interesting release window for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms; as of now, it looks like late summer or fall of 2025 would be the most likely slot for the premiere. If that’s the case, then the new spinoff series will perfectly fill the gap between House of the Dragon Season 2 this year, and House of the Dragon Season 3, which is expected to arrive in 2026. 

Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin recently sparked controversy by criticizing Season 2 of House of the Dragon, but in a recent interview, he made sure to let fans know that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is looking great: 

“I visited the set in Northern Ireland in July and loved what I saw. Great cast. [The lead characters] Dunk and Egg look as if they walked out of the pages of my book. My readers are going to love them. I certainly do. [Showrunner Ira Parker] is doing a great job,” Martin told THR.
