“Game of Thrones” Prequel, “The White Lotus” Season 3 & More Coming to HBO in 2025
Before viewers can return to Westeros, they’ll have a slightly posher option—to check into The White Lotus for season three of Mike White’s biting, hysterical comedy on HBO.
During a tech and media conference on Tuesday night, Warner Bros. Discovery global streaming chief JB Perrette revealed some key release dates for some of HBO’s biggest titles in 2025. The White Lotus has a planned February 2025 release date, while another critically acclaimed series, although drastically different in tone, substance, and style, is HBO’s The Last of Us, which will see a spring 2025 premiere.
Meanwhile, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the second Game of Thrones prequel to make it across the Narrow Sea and onto air, is looking at a late 2025 launch. It arrives three years after the debut of House of the Dragon, the acclaimed deep-dive into the brewing Civil War amongst the leaders and creepers of House Targaryen, which arrived in August of 2022. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is based on George R. R. Martin’s “Dunk & Egg” novella and is centered on the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and young Aegon V Targaryen (Egg), set 90 years before the events in Martin’s most iconic work, “A Song of Fire and Ice,” which is the series that spawned GoT.
As for 2026 and beyond, there’s a lot of cooking, including the return of Euphoria, with season 3 looking at a 2026 debut. Then there’s the Harry Potter TV series, which was initially looking at a 2026 launch and would have likely been the biggest release by HBO that year. Now Perrette said it might instead arrive in 2027. They are currently casting for the new Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
“As you look at ’26 and into ’27, you begin a 10-year journey on the Harry Potter series, which we’re super excited about,” Perrette said. “And I’d argue, may be the biggest event by the time we get to that series.”
