The new prequel series of Game of Thrones will not arrive in 2025 as expected. HBO confirmed that the premiere is moved to 2026, causing disappointment among fans.
The news was announced during an official presentation in New York. The content CEO of HBO and Max, Casey Bloys, was the one who confirmed the postponement.

Why is 'The Hedge Knight' delayed?
The series was going to be released in 2025 under the Max brand, which was renamed HBO Max. The rebranding did not affect the broadcast plans, but other production factors did.
According to the official announcement, the prequel will arrive in the winter of 2026. This delays the return to Westeros much more than the saga's followers expected.
A different proposal within the universe of Westeros
'The Hedge Knight' is set 90 years before the events of 'Game of Thrones'. The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his young squire Egg.

There will be no dragons, white walkers, or epic wars. This time, the plot focuses on honor, loyalty, and chivalry as central themes.
