A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms Faces Major Season 2 Setback After Gran Canaria Flooding
A knight of the seven kingdoms has hit a production snag as Season 2 plans run into flooding trouble in Gran Canaria. The setback affects the HBO prequel’s second season after part of a planned set remained submerged, forcing filming to move away from the originally reserved Peninsula location. The disruption was confirmed on Wednesday ET, with no change announced yet to the season’s release plans.
Gran Canaria Set Remains Under Water
The problem centers on the production’s planned filming area in Gran Canaria, where water has kept part of the set unusable. Raúl García Brink, environment councilor of the Gran Canaria Island Council, confirmed that the filming area had been contractually reserved from February 23 through May 15. He said the production company will now need to submit an action plan to remove the set as conditions allow and complete an environmental cleanup once the water level drops.
A knight of the seven kingdoms had already drawn attention for its smaller, more character-driven approach, which made anticipation for the second season especially strong after HBO renewed the series before the first season had finished its run. That makes the current setback more significant: the show has not been stopped permanently, but it has lost a key piece of its planned filming setup.
Filming Plans Shift, But Release Timing Is Unclear
HBO has not said how much of the second season was intended to be shot at the Gran Canaria location. There is also no indication at this stage that release plans for Season 2 have changed. The production team now appears to be working around the flooded set rather than stopping the season entirely.
One earlier report had incorrectly linked the issue to another Game of Thrones project, but the clarification now places the setback squarely on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2. The updated account points to a specific location problem, not a broader cancellation of the series.
Why This Matters For The Series
The series has stood out in the franchise for its smaller scale and warmer tone, built around Ser Duncan the Tall and young Egg. That identity has helped it carve out a distinct place in Westeros, even without the spectacle that usually surrounds the brand.
In the middle of that momentum, A knight of the seven kingdoms now faces a delay risk tied to weather and logistics rather than creative decisions. The production’s next steps will likely depend on when conditions improve enough for the set to be removed and the cleanup to begin.
For now, a knight of the seven kingdoms remains in production limbo on one key location, while HBO has yet to signal any shift in the season’s broader timeline. The next update is likely to focus on whether filming can resume elsewhere and how quickly the Gran Canaria site can be cleared.
