As season 1 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms concludes, the anticipation for the following seasons has intensified. The 6 episodes served right, with accurate adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s book and an apt storyline that kept not only the watchers hooked but also gained more fans.

That said, the showrunner, Ira Parker, following the release of episode 6, made a  few revelations about the finale, his vision for the coming seasons, and what we can expect.

As the finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms came to an end, there were various hints given about upcoming seasons. Egg’s formal decision to become Ser Duncan the Tall’s squire and eventually his father's realisation that his son went against his wishes. The scene was not actually in the novella but improvised by Ira Parker to resonate with the ongoing emotional atmosphere.

  “That's the nature of the novellas. It's not that there are uncertain strings that are pulled all the way through, but every season Dunk and Egg are in a new place, we set up a story, we tell you the story, and we close out the story,” he told Entertainment Weekly.

Ira Parker, so far known for aptly adapting the books, plans to incorporate his own ideas to further add a layer to the story without disrupting much of it.

Apart from incorporating his own bits in the story as he revealed to Entertainment Weekly, Parker has also pitched his very own ending to the unpublished stories that George R.R. Martin had provided him. While the showrunner did reveal that he has not heard from the writer yet, given the extraordinary reception of the season, things are headed in a good direction.

Why Does ‘A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms’ Only Have 6 Episodes? Will There Be A New Episode Next Week?

Given how season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was confirmed before the release of the first, the expectations for the upcoming season, especially since the latest revelations, are at an all time high. 

Looking ahead, Season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is set to adapt The Sworn Sword, the second Dunk and Egg novella. The structure suggests that each season may continue following one novella at a time, maintaining a focused and character-driven storytelling approach rather than expanding into sprawling political chaos.

Ira Parker has also revealed that George R.R Martin had provided him with twelve unpublished stories, leaving enough content juice for the showrunner to churn out a few more good seasons. Although nothing has been confirmed officially apart from season 2, which is set to release in 2027, Ira Parker is hinting at a lot more.
