A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 set faces unexpected shutdown

Production on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 has been disrupted after severe flooding damaged part of its filming set in Spain, forcing an unexpected relocation.

The series, a prequel set in the world of Game of Thrones, had initially begun production in Belfast, Ireland, before moving to Gran Canaria to capture the dry, barren landscapes required for its storyline. However, according to reports, the region experienced historic rainfall, with water levels reaching heights not seen in the past 15 years.

The flooding reportedly affected key set structures, leaving parts of the filming location submerged and unusable. As a result, production has been moved to mainland Spain, where conditions are more suitable for continuing the shoot. It remains unclear how much the disruption will delay the overall production timeline.

Season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms follows the story of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg as they navigate political tensions in the drought-stricken Reach. The harsh environment plays a central role in the narrative, making the choice of filming location particularly important.

Spain has previously served as a major filming hub for the franchise, particularly during later seasons of Game of Thrones. The unexpected flooding highlights the challenges of on-location shooting, especially when weather conditions directly impact production design.

Despite the setback, the series is still expected to premiere in 2027. Meanwhile, fans can stream season 1 on HBO Max, with House of the Dragon season 3 also set to expand the franchise later this year.
