By 2024 will be an interesting year for HBO’s Westeros universe as House of the Dragon Season 2 will premiere this summer, Season 3 writing is getting underway, but also the Dunk & Egg series aka A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight will be filmed this year.
UPDATED 21/02
Dunk & Egg filming slightly delayed to Summer
Thanks to Production Weekly, we have a new update regarding the filming dates of Dunk & Egg series. It seems that filming should now begin in Summer 2024, instead of Spring as originally planned.
UPDATE 21/02: Our reader levimend alerted us that Production List now has the filming dates as June 3, 2024, which sounds very much like what we expected.
As always, we have to say that these dates are rarely set in stone and are always subject to change, with June being a couple of months away still.
PL’s listing also mentions two new writers: Annie Julia Wyman (Benioff and Weiss’s Netflix show The Chair, Tokyo Vice) and Aziza Barnes (Snowfall, Teenage Bounty Hunters). They’re not listed as writers there, but it’s something to take note of as they very well could be writing for Dunk & Egg.
Even with this slight delay, a 2025 release is still very much on the table, knowing that the season itself will be not only much less complicated than House of the Dragon in the technical department, but also shorter as George R. R. Martin suggested it would most likely consist of only six episodes.
In other Dunk & Egg news, you may have noticed a new name there on the grid, Hiram Martinez (The Last Ship, Snowpiercer), who will serve as a producer.
In any case, we’re intrigued with what comes next with this series knowing casting is underway and we might have an announcement in the coming months.
House of the Dragon Season 2 will premiere on HBO in Summer 2024. We will keep following the show as the promotional campaign kicks into high gear in the coming months.
