George R R Martin on the red carpetMedia Punch/INSTARimages.com
The rise of popular fantasy shows in the last 10 years can mostly be attributed to the popularity of Game of Thrones, the HBO series that ran for eight seasons throughout the 2010s. Inspired by the famous writings of George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones is still one of the most-watched shows on streaming years after going off the air. Game of Thrones came to an abrupt and controversial ending in 2019, and although most fans were soured on the franchise after such an unsatisfying conclusion, that didn’t stop people from tuning in to the first spin-off, House of the Dragon. The show has aired three full seasons to date, and HBO has already confirmed that the fourth and final season will shoot in 2027 and air in 2028.
House of the Dragon was the first and only Game of Thrones spin-off, at least until this year brought on the release of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Based on George R. R. Martin’s Hedge Knight series of novellas, the show tells the story of the valiant and brave Ser Duncan the Tall and his young squire, Aegon Targaryen. The first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was a massive success, but this didn’t come as much of a surprise to HBO, considering the studio renewed the show for a second season months before a single episode hit streaming. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2 has already wrapped filming, and while no date has been announced, the show is confirmed to return in the first half of 2027.
Collider Exclusive · Game of Thrones Personality Quiz Which Game of Thrones House Do You Belong To? Stark · Lannister · Targaryen · Baratheon · Tyrell
Five great houses. Five completely different answers to the same question: how do you hold power in a world that will take it from you the moment you stop paying attention? Eight questions will determine where your loyalties — and your nature — truly lie.
🐺Stark
🦁Lannister
🐉Targaryen
🦌Baratheon
🌹Tyrell
01
Someone powerful is acting dishonourably and everyone knows it. What do you do? In Westeros, the answer to this question has ended more than one great house.
02
What is the source of your power? Every house endures because of something. What is it for yours?
03
Who do you truly fight for? Strip away the banners and the words. The honest answer tells you everything.
04
How do you deal with your enemies? A house’s method reveals its character as clearly as its words ever could.
05
What kind of ruler do you believe in? Westeros is full of answers to this question. Most of them end badly.
06
You suffer a devastating loss. How does your house respond? How a house handles defeat tells you more about it than how it handles victory.
07
Which of these truths about Westeros do you most believe? Every house has a philosophy. This is yours.
08
The Iron Throne is within reach. What do you do? The answer reveals not just your ambition — but your character.
The Maester Has Spoken Your House Is…
Your answers point to the great house whose words, values, and way of surviving in Westeros match your own. Bend the knee — or don’t. That’s very much up to you.
Winterfell · The North
🐺 House Stark
Winter is Coming — and you have always known it. You prepare not out of fear but out of duty, because the people who depend on you deserve someone who takes the long view.
You lead with honour even when it costs you, because you understand that a reputation built on integrity is the only one worth having.
Your loyalty to family and people runs deep — not as sentiment but as a code that doesn’t bend when things get difficult.
The North endures because Starks endure — not by being the cleverest players in the game, but by being the kind of people others are willing to follow into the cold.
You are that kind of person. The pack survives. The lone wolf dies. You already know which one you are.
Casterly Rock · The Westerlands
🦁 House Lannister
You understand the game — its rules, its exceptions, and exactly when the rules become the exception. You play it without illusions and without apology.
You are sharper than most people realise, and you have learned to use that gap to your advantage.
A Lannister always pays their debts — and you always keep your word, because your word is an instrument of power, and instruments must be kept in working order.
You love your family with a ferocity that sometimes blinds you, and you know it, and you do it anyway.
The lion doesn’t concern itself with the opinion of sheep. Neither, in the end, do you.
Dragonstone · The Iron Throne
🐉 House Targaryen
You carry a sense of destiny that is difficult to explain and impossible to ignore — the feeling that you are not simply participating in the world but meant to reshape it.
You are capable of extraordinary things, and you know it, and that knowledge is both your greatest strength and your most dangerous quality.
Fire and blood are not just words to you — they are a philosophy about what change requires and what it costs.
The Targaryens at their best were transformative rulers who broke chains and defied the limits of what anyone thought possible.
At your best, so are you. The dragon has three heads. You are one of them.
Storm’s End · The Stormlands
🦌 House Baratheon
You are a force — direct, powerful, and difficult to ignore when you enter a room or a conflict. You do not negotiate with challenges. You meet them.
Ours is the fury — and yours is a kind of intensity that commands attention, respect, and occasionally fear from those who underestimate what’s behind it.
You value strength and straight dealing. You’d rather know where you stand in a fight than navigate a web of courtly whispers.
The Baratheons built their house on the back of one of the greatest military victories in Westerosi history — and then struggled with what came after.
The lesson of your house is that winning is not the end of the story. Governing is. You are learning that too.
Highgarden · The Reach
🌹 House Tyrell
You understand that power does not always announce itself — that sometimes it arrives with flowers, good wine, and a smile that doesn’t quite reach the eyes.
Growing strong is your house’s motto, and you live it: patiently, strategically, always investing in the relationships and resources that will matter most when it counts.
You are charming by choice and calculating by nature — a combination that makes you one of the most effective players in any room you enter.
The Tyrells fed King’s Landing and shaped its politics without ever sitting on the Iron Throne — and they were arguably more powerful for it.
You know that the person who controls the food controls the kingdom. And you always know where the food is.
Has ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Been Renewed for Season 3?
HBO has not yet renewed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for Season 3, but there are strong signs that the show will continue beyond two seasons. Showrunner Ira Parker told Collider months before the Season 1 premiere that he had the show mapped out for at least three seasons, one for each of Martin’s Hedge Knight novellas. There are also reports that HBO is interested in drawing the show out over multiple seasons and eras, following Aegon as a young boy like he is now, but also as a young man, and eventually, an older leader. Still, it will all come down to viewership.
Check out the first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms on HBO Max and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of future Game of Thrones projects.
