Last month, HBO announced that House of the Dragon will be back for a fourth season and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be back for a second season. "Seven Kingdoms" is set to premiere on Sunday, January 18th (with the second season set for 2027). Meanwhile, House of the Dragon Season 3 will premiere during Summer 2026 (with the fourth season set for 2028). "We are thrilled to be able to deliver new seasons of these two series for the next three years, for the legion of fans of the 'Game of Thrones' universe. Together, 'House of the Dragon' and 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' reveal just how expansive and richly imagined George R. R. Martin's universe continues to be. In January, I think audiences will be delighted by the inspiring underdog tale of Dunk and Egg that George and Ira Parker have so beautifully captured. And this Summer, 'House of the Dragon' is set to ignite once again with some of its most epic battles yet," shared Francesca Orsi, EVP, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films.
