After A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 wrapped, here’s a look at what the show’s two leads are tackling next.

Peter Claffey’s upcoming projects
- The rugby-to-acting former star has wrapped a TV movie called Compound Fractures, where he plays a nurse opposite the late George Wendt.
- He also leads the comedy You’ll Never Believe Who’s Dead, which follows an Irish family planning a Christmas heist that spirals into real-life misadventure.

Dexter Sol Ansell’s upcoming roles
- Ansell is set to star opposite Bill Nighy in 500 Miles, a drama about two brothers who flee to the west coast of Ireland in search of their grandfather.
- Before joining A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Ansell was best known for portraying Young Coriolanus in The Hunger Games: A Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.

Season 2 on the horizon

Claffey and Ansell are both hard at work on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2, adapting George R.R. Martin’s second Dunk & Egg novella, The Sworn Sword.
HBO green-lit the follow-up before Season 1 even premiered, and filming is currently underway at Belfast’s Titanic Studios.

What to expect from the source material

The Sworn Sword continues the adventures of Dunk and Egg as they navigate the schemes of local nobles and untangle broader strands tied to the Battle of Redgrass Field. They’re mentored by the seasoned Ser Eustace and encounter a string of complications that test their loyalties and wits.
