Game Of Thrones Spinoff Update From George RR Martin Confirms Major Casting & Filming Progress
Major characters have been cast.
screenrant.comHere’s the latest on the project you asked about.
Direct answer:
- Filming on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2 has been disrupted due to severe flooding in Gran Canaria, leading to a relocation of some sets to mainland Spain. However, the production is expected to continue, and the release is still targeted for 2027.
Details and context:
- The disruption originated when the Las Niñas reservoir surged to levels not seen in about 15 years, submerging parts of the Gran Canaria set and making those locations unusable for a time. This forced the crew to move some shoots to the Spanish mainland to maintain the planned schedule.[4][6]
- Multiple outlets reported initial concerns that filming might be canceled, but later reports clarified that the delays are relocations and temporary suspensions rather than a full cancellation of Season 2.[3][9]
- Industry sources and follow-up coverage indicated that, despite the setback, the long-term rollout schedule was not abandoned, and delivery in 2027 remains the target.[1][9][3]
What this means for viewers:
- You may see a shift in filming locations and possible minor delays, but the project is still moving toward its 2027 release window rather than a complete cancellation.[3][4]
- Fans of Tales of Dunk and Egg can expect the story to adapt to the new on-location plans, with production continuing on the mainland as needed.[6][4]
Illustration:
- If helpful, imagine a production slide where parts of a storm-damaged outdoor set in a mountain-like Gran Canaria site are replaced by similarly themed locations on the Spanish mainland to preserve the overall narrative arc.
