A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 4 is coming to HBO sooner than usual. Game of Thrones established itself as one of the most popular shows of all time. While the fantasy series' ending was not well-received, the interest in the world of Westeros has remained high, leading to multiple Game of Thrones spinoffs being released and developed.

The first of those projects was House of the Dragon, which has proven to be a major hit for HBO. Before House of the Dragon season 3 arrives, another TV show set in the Game of Thrones universe is now climbing HBO's charts worldwide. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is set between the two shows, and fans will not have to wait long for its next episode.

According to HBO Max, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 4 will be released on HBO Max this Friday, February 6, at 12:01 a.m. PT/3:01 a.m. ET. The show's linear release on HBO will happen at 10 p.m. ET on Sunday, February 8. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 4 is being moved up on HBO Max because of the Super Bowl.

According to FlixPatrol, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is currently the 2nd most-watched TV show on HBO Max worldwide. As such, it is easy to see why the streamer would want to preserve its fantasy series' high audience instead of risking losing it amid the Super Bowl craze. The Game of Thrones spinoff is the most-watched HBO Max show in 26 countries.

The United States does not happen to be one of those nations, as the most-watched HBO Max series nationwide is The Pitt. Still, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms ranks high, standing at the 2nd spot on the chart. Three episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms have been released so far, with the latest arrival being episode 3, "The Squire."

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 3 ended with a major reveal related to the secret origins of Dunk's squire, Egg. Due to that, fans should be happy that the next episode of the Game of Thrones spinoff will arrive a couple of days earlier than what has been expected from the HBO series.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 1 will run for 6 episodes, with the season finale airing on February 22. No changes are expected for the air dates of episodes 5 and 6, as the move is due to the Super Bowl. The Game of Thrones spinoff has been renewed for season 2, with the plan for the franchise's new entry being annual releases for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
