Rain Halts 'Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' Filming
15 Apr
Summary
- Filming for the prequel was paused due to extreme rainfall in Gran Canaria.
- The cast and crew were filming a drought storyline when floods occurred.
- Production has relocated to mainland Spain, but the show still airs in 2027.
Production for 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' season two experienced an unexpected pause in Gran Canaria, Spain, due to severe weather. The island, chosen for its filming locations, was hit by an unprecedented amount of rain, causing significant flooding.
Ironically, the cast and crew were in the process of filming a storyline centered on a devastating drought in the Reach, a kingdom in Westeros. The extreme rainfall led to the submergence of parts of the expansive set, rendering further shooting impossible. The planned production, which was scheduled to continue until May 2026, faced immediate interruption.
As a direct result of the inclement weather, the production team has been relocated to mainland Spain. This region is a frequently utilized location within the 'Game of Thrones' franchise. Despite this setback, 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' season two is still slated to premiere in 2027. The upcoming season will follow Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg as they serve an aging lord during a drought and become involved in a land dispute.
