The Game of Thrones world just can’t seem to catch a break. Fans, already bracing themselves for the long wait between seasons of House of the Dragon, now have to shelve their hopes for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms until 2026. According to Variety, what was once expected to arrive sooner has reportedly been delayed, not by a few months, as it’s skipping the entire year.

The Prequel To Game of Thrones

Based on George R.R. Martin’s The Hedge Knight, the series shifts the focus back a century before Game of Thrones, placing two odd companions, Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg, at the heart of the story. The Targaryens still grip the Iron Throne in this timeline, and the memory of dragons still lingers in the world. It’s a setting ripe with legacy and adventure, even though none of that will unfold on screen until at least the following year.

Warner Bros. Discovery revealed the delay during a recent presentation, during which a brief teaser confirmed the shift. The trend isn’t new, as premium shows with steep production costs often come with longer waits. HBO’s own track record shows a similar pattern, especially after the original Game of Thrones wrapped up its controversial final season.
