A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms star Peter Claffey has a straight answer to fans asking about Season 2

If you've been desperately trying to squeeze details about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2 out of Peter Claffey, then he's got a short, seven-word response to put you at ease. The series was renewed for a second season, which will be based on The Sworn Sword and is expected to be released in 2027. But beyond that, the actor is keeping mum about any other details.

Claffey was speaking at an HBO panel alongside showrunner Ira Parker, director Sarah Adina Smith, and composer Dan Romer, and the whole conversation kept circling back to one thing: their obsessive commitment to George R.R. Martin's novellas.

"We just kept going back to the book," Parker said, about how they tried their best to stick to the novel. And when it came time for Season 2 teases, Claffey gave a short, clear answer as he said,

“There's a book. Just read the book.”

Throughout the panel, Claffey spoke about how much time the cast spent with the source material, absorbing it, living in it. When asked how he navigated Dunk's internal monologue from the novellas, he described swimming in those thoughts throughout filming, in a way that the novella becomes part of your DNA.

For now, the team behind A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is keeping everything curtained, which makes it even more exciting for fans to look forward to what's coming next.

Everything we know about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2

After surviving approximately a hundred stab wounds during his trial of seven, Ser Duncan the Tall is gearing up for another adventure. HBO renewed the highly rated prequel two months before A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 even premiered, so Dunk and Egg will be back for another heartwarming season.

Season 2 will adapt The Sworn Sword, the second Dunk and Egg novella. Set about a year after Season 1, Dunk finds himself serving the disgraced lord Ser Eustace Osgrey while getting tangled up in a land dispute with the recently widowed Lady Rohanne Webber. Casting is already locked in. Lucy Boynton plays Lady Rohanne, Peter Mullan is Ser Eustace, and Babou Ceesay will play the trouble-prone hedge knight Ser Bennis. Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell return as Dunk and Egg, but other characters from season 1 won't return since The Sworn Sword involves an almost entirely new roster of characters.
