During a press presentation in New York City, Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and HBO Max Content, confirmed a multi-year expansion of the network’s “Game of Thrones” franchise renewing A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon through 2028. Both series will continue to air on HBO and stream on HBO Max, solidifying the Targaryen-ruled realm as one of the network’s most enduring powerhouses.

The upcoming half-hour drama A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms an intimate, character-driven journey into the friendship of Dunk and Egg, has secured a second season ahead of its series premiere on Sunday, January 18 at 10 PM ET/PT.

Meanwhile, House of the Dragon continues to be the crown jewel of the franchise.

The Dance of the Dragons is far from over, and according to the network, some of the saga’s most explosive storytelling is still ahead.

Francesca Orsi, EVP of HBO Programming, emphasized just how committed the network is to the world George R.R. Martin created. “We are thrilled to be able to deliver new seasons of these two series for the next three years,” she said, noting the “expansive and richly imagined” universe that continues to captivate audiences. She teased an “inspiring underdog tale” in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and promised that House of the Dragon will “ignite once again with some of its most epic battles yet.”
