HBO’s Game of Thrones franchise will face its biggest test in 2026

A new HBO Max sizzle has declared 2026 the “biggest year ever,” as it showcases footage for about 17 new titles hitting the service next year. Among them are two Game of Thrones-related shows: House of the Dragon season 3 and the premiere of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a new 6-episode show following the journey of naive knight Ser Duncan “Dunk” The Tall (Peter Claffey) and his squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell).
