Winter may be coming, but fans of George R.R. Martin’s fantasy world of Westeros have something to look forward to. The highly anticipated show, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, is already gearing up for a second season, according to Martin himself.

Based on Martin’s novellas Tales of Dunk and Egg, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is set to debut in late 2025 with a six-episode first season. The events of the novellas take place 89 years before the events of the A Song of Ice and Fire series and 77 years after the beginning of the Dance of Dragons. With the success of Game of Thrones and the upcoming spin-off House of the Dragon, fans are eager to dive back into the world of Westeros.

Martin has been a vocal supporter of the new series, regularly praising it on his Not a Blog blog over the past few months. In a recent interview with Collider, he confirmed that showrunner Ira Parker and his team are already working on Season 2.

“I’ve seen Dunk and Egg, the first season, and it’s great,” Martin praised, “and now they’re working on the second season. Those are two characters were really special to me, and they’re unusual, those characters. They’re not what most people would expect in a fantasy story.” For those hoping for more epic, massive battles or dragons clashing in the sky, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be a sharp change from what we’ve come to expect from this franchise. “It’s a little softer. It’s a little more humorous. I hope the audience will be open to that kind of change,” Martin said.

With a successful track record of adaptation, including Game of Thrones and its numerous awards, fans can trust that Martin’s beloved novellas are in good hands. Not to mention, House of the Dragon showrunner Miguel Sapochnik is set to direct the pilot episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, adding even more excitement and anticipation for the series.

The news of a second season for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is sure to please fans who have been eagerly awaiting the show’s debut. With Game of Thrones ending in 2019 and the release of Martin’s long-awaited novel, The Winds of Winter, still uncertain, this new series will serve as a welcome addition to the fantasy world of Westeros.

While we still have some time before A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms graces our screens, fans can rest easy knowing that the team behind the show is already hard at work on a second season. With Martin’s stamp of approval and a talented team at the helm, the future looks bright for this highly anticipated series.
