‘Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Boss Reveals How Long Season 2 Filming Will Take

HBO is betting on the hedge knight. Game of Thrones spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was renewed for Season 2 months before its series premiere on January 18. HBO announced the drama’s early renewal during the HBO and HBO Max slate presentation, hosted by Casey Bloys, on Thursday, November 20, in New York City. HBO also revealed when to expect A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2 to premiere.

TV Insider caught up with series creator Ira Parker, who previously worked on House of the Dragon (which also got an early renewal on November 20), in January before the spinoff debuts. He shared an update on Season 2, which is already in production.

“We’ve shot 10 days of Season 2,” Parker tells TV Insider. “We [took] a month break for Christmas, and then for this and premiere week, and then we come back and do a lot of work. So it’s a weird schedule, but I’m happy we got those 10 days in before. We’ve shot some very nice stuff.”

Season 2 filming will take about three months. Parker says, “It’s a week longer than Season 1, so it’s about 14 weeks we have.”
