A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms star Peter Claffey "didn't think we'd be able to ever hit the level of quality of season 1," but season 2 is "incredible"

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 is currently filming, and star Peter Claffey, who plays the eponymous knight Ser Dunk, says it’ll live up to the hype generated by season 1. Claffey says the new season, which adapts the novella The Sworn Sword, is “totally different,” but still in line with the quality fans have come to expect from the show.

“It’s totally different. The Sworn Sword is my favorite novella of the three in the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms book. It’s a tragic love story. It’s a completely different job for Dunk to navigate,” Claffey tells The Playlist. “And I suppose he has his first kind of experience with…his first kind of experience with kind of trying to navigate talking and chatting to women, which he’s terrible at, and trying to establish a work relationship with a woman, which he’s absolutely awful at.”
