A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has announced the first new cast members of Season 2, which is currently in production. The Game of Thrones spinoff will welcome Lucy Boynton, Alien: Earth‘s Babou Ceesay, and Peter Mullan into the fold for the second season, which already has a premiere year. All three of them are playing characters from George R.R. Martin‘s books.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was renewed for Season 2 months before its series premiere on January 18. HBO announced the drama’s early renewal during the HBO and HBO Max slate presentation, hosted by Casey Bloys, on Thursday, November 20, in New York City. HBO also revealed when to expect A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2 to premiere.

TV Insider caught up with series creator Ira Parker, who previously worked on House of the Dragon (which also got an early renewal on November 20), before the spinoff debuted. He shared an update on Season 2.

“We’ve shot 10 days of Season 2,” Parker told TV Insider in January 2026. “We [took] a month break for Christmas, and then for this and premiere week, and then we come back and do a lot of work. So it’s a weird schedule, but I’m happy we got those 10 days in before. We’ve shot some very nice stuff.”

Season 2 filming will take about three months. Parker said, “It’s a week longer than Season 1, so it’s about 14 weeks we have.”
