A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been a smash hit for HBO. It was the third-highest original show debut ever, behind just House of the Dragon and The Last of Us… And this “Game of Thrones” spinoff series is averaging nearly 13 million U.S. viewers per episode…
That being said; Season 2 was greenlit before season 1’s release, and it is already filming. The idea here is that with enough novellas, this could continue on indefinitely. That’s especially true with the very vocal support of George RR Martin, who is even sending its showrunner, Ira Parker, unreleased novella components for the future.
Ira Parker had this to say about season 2… “We’re now getting into The Sworn Sword, which is my favorite novella in many ways, with Rohanne Webber or the Red Widow, Ser Bennis, and Ser Eustace, who are these classic characters. I can’t say much but we have three absolutely brilliant actors coming in to do these roles. I’m excited. We are cutting some scenes together now, and the directors are seeing some of it, so it feels nice to see [season two] slowly come together.”
