Game of Thrones’ New Spinoff Might Receive a New Season Every Year — Here’s Why
The first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is now scheduled for release this year, while HBO might already be working on its next instalment.
While Game of Thrones ’ prequel House of the Dragon will wrap its 4th season up by 2028, it’s very likely that the original show’s new upcoming spinoff will have the same amount of seasons released by the same year, despite being launched 3 years later.
With A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’s season 1 premiere set to take place sometime this year, HBO is making a huge step to making its fans happier as the company now intends to significantly reduce the several-year break between each of the shows’ new seasons.
However, the audiences’ discontent with such a long wait isn’t really the case for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, as HBO’s exec reveals that there’s another big challenge to handle in the upcoming series.
HBO Plans to Release A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Seasons More Frequently For 1 Reason
Despite the show, which is based on George Martin ’s Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas, being a new and so far quite mysterious thing for HBO to deal with, the company already has a specific vision of the schedule it should apply to the project.

In a recent interview with Deadline, HBO executive Francesca Orsi revealed that the company wouldn’t want to risk waiting as it means Egg’s 10-year-old actor Dexter Sol Ansell might just grow up in the blink of an eye.
“The role of Egg only spans not even a year, so you have to roll into it season to season pretty quickly because this kid will grow up too quickly if we wait too long. So we’re thinking about that in terms of pickups”, she stated.
Stranger Things and Euphoria Should Take Notes
HBO’s decision in regard to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms does seem like a wise suggestion to stick to realistic perspectives, which is probably the lesson the company learnt from fellow Netflix ’s Stranger Things or even its own Euphoria.

The former has seen never-ending backlash ever since its season 4 was released back in 2022, trying to prove that the adults on the screen were the same kids we met in the first season, but just a year or two older.
The same issue might be faced by Euphoria’s upcoming season 3; however, a big time jump is promised to become an essential part of the storyline that will find the former high school students a couple of years after the graduation.
