Game of Thrones fans might be waiting a little longer for Season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to arrive, as Mother Nature has played a role in the show's filming schedule. The show was in production on the island of Gran Canaria (one of Spain's Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco), filming episodes for the second season. But according to a report by Atlantico Hoy, HBO had to hit the pause button for now after the island experienced epic flooding this week.

Island Flooding Has Halted Filming of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

The cast and crew were forced to abandon the set at the Gran Canaria summit, as they are in the process of moving production to mainland Spain. According to the report, "The heavy rainfall recorded during the winter, especially after Storm Therese, has caused the Las Niñas Dam to reach levels not seen in the last 15 years, since the last time the reservoir overflowed. This flooding has submerged part of the structures built for filming, rendering the location unusable."

No word yet on how far back the schedule has been pushed for the show to complete what it was filming at the time, or if the flooding will impact any content that still needs to be filmed. On the positive side, there are no reports of cast or crew being injured during the flooding, so for the time being, it appears everyone involved with the production is fine. Just inconvenienced due to circumstances no one could have controlled.
