In the recent update,  A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2 filming hit a major setback today when Storm Therese caused historic flooding in Gran Canaria, Spain. The production is said to be put on hold at the Las Niñas Dam location, but HBO insists the 2027 release date remains intact. Storm Therese unleashed historic rainfall across the Canary Islands, forcing HBO to evacuate the Gran Canaria filming locations. The Las Niñas Dam overflowed dramatically, submerging set pieces and equipment built to depict a drought-stricken Westeros. More than 3,000 people were evacuated across the region due to the unprecedented flooding. According to multiple sources, The Game of Thrones spinoff will now relocate to alternative filming locations to maintain its schedule until mid May. HBO confirmed the delay but stressed the show remains on track for its promised 2027 premiere. Storm Therese delivered record-breaking rainfall to the region. The Las Niñas Dam reached water levels not seen in the last 15 years, according to official reports. The flooding proved so catastrophic that evacuations were issued with red-level danger warnings across multiple Canary Islands. Set structures depicting medieval Westeros scenes were directly impacted by the overflow. The production had built intricate set pieces at the dam location, and water damage affected equipment and infrastructure. Despite facing challenges, HBO sources told media outlets that the show’s overall production timeline remains feasible for a 2027 launch window.
