A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 Soundtrack

Hot on the heels of the finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, WaterTower Music—Warner Bros. in-house label—has announced that the season 1 soundtrack, composed by Dan Romer, is now available to stream from multiple sources such as Spotify, Soundcloud, Tidal… and Youtube. We contacted Romer after the first episode, asking particularly about the title of the closing music that impressed us so much and whether a soundtrack would be released, and he did say he hoped it’d be out quite soon. Looks like he delivered.

And speaking of that episode 1 final track, our favorite from the show, it turns out it’s titled “The Luck is Ours Alone.” Of course!

Final Episode Review for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

We’re back one last time (almost!) to discuss the finale of the first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and we certainly have some thoughts about the episode.

As we discuss at the end, we are considering scheduling a live stream to go over the season a last time, but we’ll see how feasible that is—been quite a few years since we last did a live stream.

HBO’s social medias have spread the word: the first teaser for the upcoming season of House of the Dragon will be released tomorrow…

And not just that. The promotional poster for this news also includes a date: June. We don’t know the exact day, but it looks like it’s just four short months until a dynastic clash of dragons is back on the screen.

RSC Announces World Premiere of Game of Thrones: The Mad King

After five years of gestation, the long-in-the-works theatrical production based on the events of the tourney at Harrenhal has come to fruition. Per the press release we just received:

The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) today announces the world premiere of Game of Thrones: The Mad King, a new play based on the novels by George R. R. Martin, adapted by Duncan Macmillan and directed by Dominic Cooke.

Game of Thrones: The Mad King will have its world premiere at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in Summer 2026. Priority booking will go on sale from 14 April 2026 with public booking to be announced in April 2026. For early access, visit rsc.org.uk/join to become an RSC member. More information will be announced later in the year. Full details of the upcoming RSC season will be announced on Thursday 26 February 2026.

See the rest of the press release below, but all we can say is wow. Incredibly exciting to finally see things come to fruition… and it explains, I think, why George spent a deal a time in the UK recently (well, that, and season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms being under way).
