However, things will likely turn around starting on Thursday, October 9th. That’s when the New York Comic-Con panel for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will take place, with Martin himself in attendance alongside the show’s cast, Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell, and co-creator, Ira Parker. As well as more updates on the series, including, perhaps, a firm release date, it’s also widely believed we’re finally going to see a trailer for the series. Filming wrapped in September 2024, and footage was shown around the same time. There should be plenty they could reveal, and this would make the most sense to give us a new look at the prequel at last.
This Will Begin A Big Few Months For Game of Thrones Fans
The launch of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ promotional campaign alone is worth getting excited about. Based on Martin’s The Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas, this is a chance to do something different with the franchise. Something less epic, without dragons, yet no less interesting. After the series was delayed from 2025 to 2026, seeing some real footage beyond a few seconds, which essentially amounts to a handful of images, is long overdue, and I can’t wait to see how it’s shaping up.
From there, if the mooted January 2026 release date holds, then we can expect HBO to continue giving the series a strong marketing push. But that probably won’t be the only Westeros show it’s promoting before this year comes to an end. It’s currently expected that House of the Dragon Season 3 will premiere around June 2025, which should mean we get a teaser around late November or early December.
