Warner Bros. has set a 2029 theatrical release date for the highly anticipated first movie in the Game of Thrones franchise.
After years of dominating the television space, the world of Westeros is finally jumping to the big screen, making it the first time the franchise gets the cinematic treatment. Fans have been looking forward to seeing what they have in store for the first Game of Thrones movie.
When Is the Game of Thrones Movie Releasing in Theaters?
Variety confirmed that Warner Bros. has set a June 6, 2029 theatrical release date for Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest, the first movie in the world of Westeros.
It will center on the original conqueror, Aegon I Targaryen, a foundational figure from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series.
As the dragon-riding dynasty that defined the Westeros political landscape, the Targaryens (and their penchant for keeping power within the family) serve as the focal point in both the original Game of Thrones series and its expanding prequel shows.
The story of Aegon I Targaryen is meticulously detailed in George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, a historical chronicle of the dynasty's volatile reign. As the first monarch to unify the warring Seven Kingdoms, Aegon famously forged the Iron Throne from the blades of his defeated foes. He ruled Westeros alongside his two sister-queens, Visenya and Rhaenys, establishing a lineage of kings (many of whom shared his name) that would hold power for nearly three centuries.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms director, Owen Harris, is set to helm the movie project, while Andor writer Beau Willimon is currently working on the script.
There are no details yet regarding the casting for the titular role of Aegon, but we will likely hear more about it in the coming months.
What's Next in the Game of Thrones Franchise on TV
The third season of House of the Dragon wrapped its run on HBO and HBO Max last summer. It has already been renewed for a fourth season, which will serve as its final one, and is expected to be released in 2028.
Meanwhile, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which premiered earlier this year, has already been renewed for a second season and concluded production last August. It is set to release sometime in 2027.
There are no plans yet to develop more Game of Thrones spinoff shows on HBO, but it is still the top franchise on the network due to its continuing success and pop culture relevance.
