The early greenlights show HBO’s high confidence in its two flagship Game of Thrones spin-offs. House of the Dragon Season 4 is officially happening, even though Season 3 won’t premiere until summer 2026.
Meanwhile, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms secured its Season 2 renewal before its very first episode airs on January 18, 2026. HBO executives have called the Westeros slate a core pillar for the next three years, noting how both shows showcase the scale and depth of George R.R. Martin’s world.

What’s the updated House of the Dragon release schedule?

Season 3 has eight episodes, just like Season 2, and continues the brutal rise of the Dance of the Dragons. Poised to start with an event titled “Battle of the Gullet,” the conflict between Rhaenyra’s forces and Aemond’s forces will spark some of the show’s most intense fights.
Season 4 arrives in 2028, keeping HOTD’s two-year pattern alive. Curiously enough, HBO hasn’t designated Season 4 as the final chapter despite earlier hints from showrunner Ryan Condal suggesting a four-season structure.
What to expect from Knight of the Seven Kingdoms after Season 1?

Season 1 gets the ball rolling on the series by adapting ‘The Hedge Knight’, exploring how Dunk and Egg begin their journey from very humble beginnings. Now that the stage will be set, Season 2 will adapt ‘The Sworn Sword’, which will continue their underdog story in a dragonless Westeros.
HBO describes the show as a heartwarming and inspiring tale set years before the events of House of the Dragon. This makes it a lighter but still crucial companion piece to the otherwise blood-soaked Targaryen timeline.
