Filming for season two of the HBO Game of Thrones spin-off A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been paused due to severe flooding on the island of Gran Canaria, Spain, with production being relocated to mainland Spain. The pause in filming is due to severe weather conditions, specifically flooding, which has caused significant disruption to the production schedule. Water levels in the Las Niñas Dam reached the highest point in 15 years, causing the reservoir to burst its banks, according to reports.
The filming location affected is on the island of Gran Canaria, Spain, where parts of the set are submerged due to increased water levels from substantial winter rainfall. A cleanup of the site is required once water levels permit, though it is unclear how long the filming for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season two will be postponed or the exact impact on the production schedule and budget, as the extent of the damage to equipment and infrastructure remains under assessment. Production is being relocated to mainland Spain, though the specific new filming location has not been disclosed.
The location on Gran Canaria was contractually secured from February 23 to May 15. Season two of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is scheduled for release in 2027. Reports initially indicated that season four of House of the Dragon was impacted, but this has been corrected, with sources clarifying that the flooding only affects the spin-off series.
Season three of House of the Dragon is finished and will premiere in June, while season four is underway and anticipated to arrive in 2028, according to HBO representatives, indicating that the main series remains on track despite the spin-off's setbacks.
