Ending Change Teases Dunk & Egg Season 2 Arc
TL;DR Summary
HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms ends Season 1 with a deliberate tweak to the finale that nods to a longer Dunk & Egg arc, signaling that Season 2 will adapt The Sworn Sword and expand beyond a self-contained story. Maekar's uneasy presence and Egg's unsanctioned departure hint at ongoing threads, which showrunner Ira Parker says will be addressed without derailing the adaptation. HBO has greenlit Season 2 (with possible Season 3 via The Mystery Knight) and Martin has more Dunk and Egg ideas, suggesting future installments could continue beyond the published novellas with a collaborative approach.
