What’s been confirmed about the set so far
Rittenhouse Archives will release a full trading card collection dedicated to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1, arriving in winter 2026, according to Screen Rant’s report on the announcement. No specific checklist has been confirmed yet, and Rittenhouse hasn’t said which cast members, if any, will sign autograph cards, so the full scope of the release is still unconfirmed.

Why Rittenhouse is a significant name to land
Rittenhouse Archives has handled official trading cards for the Game of Thrones franchise for years, including recent releases like 2025’s Game of Thrones: The Great Houses set, which featured a 61-card base checklist alongside autograph, relic, and sketch card inserts. Their history with the wider Thronesverse makes the scale of a dedicated A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms set reasonably predictable, even without an official checklist yet, since the company has consistently built out autograph-heavy, premium insert-driven products for the franchise’s other shows.
What the card checklist might realistically include
Based on past Rittenhouse releases for Game of Thrones properties, a full checklist built around A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 would likely include a sizable base card set covering the show’s cast and key scenes, paired with harder-to-pull inserts like autograph cards, relic cards built from screen-used wardrobe pieces, and possibly sketch cards from commissioned artists. Season 1 drew a strong response for HBO, with its debut pulling in 6.7 million viewers over its first three days and its finale climbing to 9.5 million, numbers that make a premium collector’s product a reasonable bet commercially.

How this fits into the show’s momentum heading into Season 2
The timing lines up deliberately with the gap before Season 2, which wrapped filming in August 2026 after a weather-related production delay and is currently expected to premiere sometime in the first half of 2027. A trading card release functions as a way to keep the show visible to collectors and fans during that wait, something the Game of Thrones franchise has leaned on repeatedly across its other properties between seasons.
