Game of Thrones Spin-Off Filming Comes to a Halt After Severe Flooding
Historic flooding submerged key set structures and forced crews to relocate production, while interior scenes continue at Belfast’s Titanic Studios.
- HBO halted production of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2 in Gran Canaria, Spain, after Storm Therese caused severe flooding at the Gran Canaria dam where the crew was filming.

- The series remains slated for a 2027 release, with Parker promising fans they will not be disappointed by the upcoming adaptation of the Dunk and Egg story, The Sworn Sword.
