FULL STORY

Send a raven to your fellow Game of Thrones fans, everyone, because the high fantasy franchise's next live-action adaptation is set to arrive in January 2026.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms , which will be the third Thrones TV show to debut on HBO Max , is set to premiere in the first month of next year.
Indeed, the official Game of Thrones X/Twitter account confirmed as much
today (October 6).

Previously we only knew that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms would arrive sometime in early 2026 , so it's satisfying to know that we'll have a potentially great program to watch and lift our post-Holiday blues.

The series' launch month announcement was accompanied by its first official poster, too.

In it, we see a young Aegon V Targaryen, a future king of Westeros, looking
up at an incredibly tall individual whose full frame doesn't even fit onto
the artwork. The person in question? Ser Duncan the Tall, one of the show's titular duo alongside Aegon V and a future Lord Commander of the
Kingsguard.

This won't be the only major reveal we'll get for A Knight of... in the
coming days. A panel for the forthcoming HBO TV Original will take place at
New York Comic-Con (NYCC) 2025 this weekend. In fact, it'll be one of the
first major panels of this year's convention, with the event occurring on Thursday, October 9 at 1pm ET / 10am PT / 5pm BST.

So, what do we expect to learn at said panel? Hopefully, the show's actual release date. I'm all but certain a first trailer will be unveiled, too, especially as A Knight of... is only three months away from premiering on one of the world's best streaming services . Apart from an HBO Max sizzle reel
that contained the very first footage of A Knight of ... , we're yet to see anything substantial. It's high time, then, that this was rectified.
