Sci Fi TV News of Note:
HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which is based on George R.R. Martin’s Dunk and Egg novellas, has wrapped up filming. But that does not mean that it will be hitting the small screen in the next few months. Special effects and other aspects of production still need to be added, so expect this one to arrive mid-2025 at the earliest.
In additional production news, it was previously announced that Thanos actor Josh Brolin would be playing Hal Jordan in HBO’s upcoming series Lanterns, but he has decided to pass on the role. And Neil Gaiman has announced that he will be stepping back as showrunner on Good Omens, allowing production on the third season to resume. It was paused amid sexual assault claims against Gaiman.
In scheduling news, the five-episode fourth season of American Horror Stories has received an October 15th premiere date on Hulu.
