HBO will release on HBO Max Spain the fourth and final season of The House of the Dragon in 2028, though no exact day or month has been announced yet. Filming for this finale is scheduled for spring 2027, while The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will return in the same year.
The schedule sketches two very different waiting periods. The third season of The House of the Dragon wrapped up on August 10, 2026 in Spain, so the return of Rhaenyra and Alicent will, if the plan holds, require another gap of roughly two years. By contrast, the Dunk and Egg-focused series will have a second season just one year after its premiere.
The difference matters because HBO has chosen to alternate two ways of telling Westeros: a mega-production built around the Targaryen civil war and a more compact adventure tale, with different characters and a very different scale. For those wondering when the dragon family returns, the answer is 2028; for those seeking new stories from this universe, the next appointment comes sooner.
When Does The House of the Dragon Season 4 Premier
In its Spain announcement dated November 20, 2025, HBO confirmed 2028 as the release year for season 4 and the renewal of The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for 2027. The platform has not yet detailed the episode calendar or the arrival date of the final installment.
Season four will bring this Dance of the Dragons story to a close. The finale of the third season already left Rhaenyra in a markedly different position from where she started the conflict: the events in Tumbleton have hardened the feud and shifted much of the narrative’s weight onto the consequences of that war.
Which Game of Thrones Series Will Arrive on HBO Max in 2027
The gap between seasons of The House of the Dragon will be filled by the second season of The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, announced for 2027. HBO has since clarified that its return is planned for the first half of the year, still without a concrete date for Spain.
It will not be a continuation of Rhaenyra’s story. The Dunk and Egg adventures unfold in a different era of the dynasty and on a different dramatic scale, something that also shapes the production: the second season of The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms presents new challenges without leaning on the same large-scale battles and digital creatures seen in The House of the Dragon.
Thus the confirmed franchise calendar on HBO Max Spain stands: 2027 for the second season of The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and 2028 for the fourth and final season of The House of the Dragon. For now, the platform has not announced exact dates for either premiere.
