The Game of Thrones franchise is still going strong following the end of the hit HBO fantasy series in 2019. The 2026 TV schedule has seen more than one prequel hit the premium cable network, with House of the Dragon’s third season and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ debut (now available with an HBO Max subscription). While the latter only premiered in January, HBO renewed it for Season 2 in November and production had started shortly after, only to deal many times with the mysterious maven that is Mother Earth. But following (many) weather delays, it seems like the upcoming season just got good news we’ve been waiting for.
Production began on Season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in December, but it’s been quite a roller coaster. In April, filming was halted due to record-breaking rainfall in Spain, which flooded parts of the set. Ironically, production moved from Belfast to Spain to accurately tell the story, as Season 2 is set during a brutal drought in the Reach. They'd thought Spain's dry land would be a safe haven, but Europe's really been going through it this summer.
