Super Bowl LX seems intent on proving that moderation is unnecessary when spectacle is available. Between the championship game, Bad Bunny commanding the halftime stage, exclusive film trailers, and extravagantly produced advertising, subtlety is dismissed entirely. And in that process, Super Bowl LX has created a surprise for fans of two TV shows that even it might not know about.

HBO has added to the excitement by confirming new release dates for the coming episodes of A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms and Industry with impeccable dramatic timing.

Warner Bros. Discovery has officially confirmed that Industry season four, episode five and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season one, episode four will premiere early worldwide on HBO Max. The episodes will stream Friday, February 6, 2026, at 12:01 a.m. PT and 3:01 a.m. ET.

This early global rollout places both episodes ahead of their original linear HBO premieres scheduled for Super Bowl Sunday, February 8. The strategy directly links prestige television releases with one of the largest live broadcast events, encouraging streaming-first viewing ahead of traditional scheduling.

Industry continues its fourth-season focus on the ruthless professional and personal stakes inside London investment firm Pierpoint and Company. Nearly a century before Game of Thrones, A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms follows Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg, charming viewers with a fresh Westeros lens, evident even from Episode 1. 

The Truth Behind HBO's 'Industry': Fact or Fiction?

Westeros was already abuzz, yet HBO’s proclamation has now sent the banners of excitement for A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms flying higher than ever.

The upcoming fourth episode of A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, titled Seven, promises a tense escalation after the revelation that Egg is Prince Aegon V Targaryen. Ser Duncan the Tall faces the fallout of striking Prince Aerion Brightflame while defending the puppeteer Tanselle, setting the stage for dire consequences.

According to the official synopsis, Dunk will exercise his right to a trial by combat, a legal recourse that now transforms into the perilous Trial of Seven. The teaser trailer confirms that seven knights on each side will decide Dunk’s fate, forcing him to seek six brave allies willing to challenge royal authority.

The episode also deepens the Targaryen family drama, highlighting interactions between Prince Maekar and his sons, including the headstrong Egg and the absent-minded, drunken Daeron. The fractured family dynamic heightens tension, revealing both the danger and political complexity of Westeros long before the events of Game of Thrones.

Finally, expect strategic recruitment as Dunk reaches out to renowned allies, including Lyonel Baratheon, the 'Laughing Storm,' and influential houses like the Fossoways. This episode bridges the lighthearted tourney atmosphere with life-or-death stakes, turning honor and loyalty into a high-risk game that could determine the future of Westeros. And thanks to the Super Bowl LX fans will get the answers to their questions earlier than expected.
