Warning: spoilers are ahead for Episode 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in the 2026 TV schedule, called “Hard Salt Beef” and available streaming now with an HBO Max subscription.
The world of Westeros has delivered all manner of nude scenes going back to the very first episode of Game of Thrones, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms opened its second episode by showing a whole new side of Ser Arlan. To be specific, his fully frontal side. Showrunner Ira Parker, who previously explained the appeal of “fart jokes” for this series, opened up about why Ser Arlan was the center of a nude scene so early in the episode.
