HBO Max has announced early episode debuts for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and Industry ahead of Super Bowl Sunday.
Super Bowl LX kicks off this Sunday, February 8, and will see the Seattle Seahawks do battle with the New England Patriots. It will command the attention of a global audience, which is why entertainment companies pay so much money for ad slots (speaking of which, here are the movie trailers to expect at the Super Bowl).
So, to avoid a particularly brutal clash with the Super Bowl, HBO has brought the upcoming episodes of two of its biggest shows forward. Season 1, Episode 4 of Game of Thrones spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and Season 4, Episode 5 of Industry will premiere early globally on HBO Max on Friday, February 6 at 12.01am PT / 3.01am ET ahead of their respective HBO airings on Super Bowl Sunday, February 8.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms just aired Episode 3, and you can check out IGN’s review right here. It’s a six-episode season, which debuted on January 18. Industry, meanwhile, is halfway through its eight episode Season 4, which debuted January 11. Check out IGN’s Industry Season 4 review to find out what we think.
HBO boss Casey Bloys recently confirmed that fellow Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon will end with Season 4. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was renewed for a second season ahead of the Season 1 debut earlier this month, with Season 2 due out in 2027. House of the Dragon Season 3, meanwhile, debuts in summer 2026, with Season 4 set for 2028.
Bloys also responded to Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin’s “abysmal” relationship with the House of the Dragon showrunner, and suggested Season 3 of The Last of Us will be its last.
