- Casey Bloys has supplied promising updates on HBO’s Recreation of Thrones prequels
- Home of the Dragon season 3 may debut someday in mid-2026
- Bloys additionally confirmed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will arrive in January
HBO boss Casey Bloys has confirmed when A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (AKotSK) will likely be launched.
The second Recreation of Thrones (GoT) prequel, which was initially due out someday in 2025, is ready to drop in early 2026, in response to an interview with Selection on the 2025 Emmys pink carpet, the place Bloys introduced that AKotSK would launch on HBO and its streaming sibling HBO Max after the flip of the yr.
Requested if he may touch upon latest rumors that AKotSK would drop within the first half of 2026, Bloys stated: “I’ll say January. How about that?”
Comprising six episodes, AKotSK is predicted to cowl the occasions of the primary novella, titled ‘The Hedge Knight’. It is unclear if storylines from the opposite two novellas will likely be folded into its debut season, however we’d get affirmation on that entrance as soon as an official trailer is launched. On the time of publication, we have solely seen transient snippets of footage in a March 2024 HBO Max TV present sizzle reel teaser, so I am hoping an precise trailer is not too far off.
A pink sizzling summer time awaits for Home of the Dragon
That wasn’t the one vital replace that Bloys delivered on HBO’s GoT universe. In dialog with Deadline, he additionally teased when Home of the Dragon‘s third season may air, saying: “I feel it’ll be simply outdoors of [the 2026 Emmy eligibility window].”
At first look, that may seem to be a fluff reply. Nonetheless, studios that wish to submit their exhibits for a number of Primetime Emmy nominations have to satisfy sure standards, together with releasing stated TV collection earlier than Might 31 of any given yr.
Primarily based on Bloys’ feedback, that implies Home of the Dragon season 3 will not be launched on HBO or HBO Max, aka one of many world’s greatest streaming providers, earlier than June 2026. That may mark two years because the GoT prequel program’s second season was launched and simply 14 months after filming started on its third season.
If Home of the Dragon 3 arrives someday in mid-2026, it is more likely to be a pink sizzling summer time (or winter, for these of you within the southern hemisphere). Certainly, after an uninspiring finish to the most effective HBO Max exhibits’ second season, we’re sure to expertise the Targaryen Civil Conflict in full circulate subsequent season, which means fireplace and blood will definitely reign.
