According to data from FlixPatrol, a TV show on Paramount+ was popular in the United States on January 16th, ranking among the top 10. However, its popularity quickly declined – it fell to number 6 by January 17th and remained there on the 18th. This trend was also seen in other countries, like the United Kingdom, where the show went from 3rd to 5th, and eventually to 10th place.
Despite being made quickly, during Zelda’s summer break, and on a very tight budget, the film is surprisingly well-made. The family’s struggles with a life-threatening illness feel very real, particularly in scenes between Zelda and her father, Jake, where they openly share their fears about the diagnosis. While the film effectively builds tension and delivers emotional moments, it unfortunately becomes repetitive and lacks energy at times. This is odd, given the personal connection the family has to the story, but a strange sense of detachment often hangs over the scenes.
Let me tell you, finding a genuinely happy moment in the world of Game of Thrones is tough. You think back – Sansa building a snow Winterfell felt sweet, until Littlefinger showed up. Or Alicent and Rhaenyra’s quiet time under the weirwood tree, before everything went south with Viserys. It’s like any flicker of joy in Westeros is immediately extinguished. That’s what makes the dance-off between Lyonel Baratheon and Dunk in the premiere of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms so refreshing. Two guys just… having fun, showing off, and not ending up dead? Seriously, who knew that was even possible in the Seven Kingdoms! It’s a surprisingly lovely little moment, and a welcome break from all the doom and gloom.
I recently read an interview with Claffey in People Magazine about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and he was so relatable! He shared that he was a huge Game of Thrones fan, right from the beginning – he really got how much the show means to people. He admitted he’s a little nervous about whether longtime fans will love this new spin-off, and honestly, I feel the same way! It’s great to know someone involved understands what we’re all hoping for.
As a critic, I’m thrilled to hear this project is happening! I really enjoyed Don’t Look Up, and the filmmakers had a fantastic collaboration with Netflix on that one. They’re teaming up again, and it sounds like they’re aiming for a big, splashy release in 2026 – something truly event-worthy. I’m definitely marking my calendar!

It’s been nearly three years since we last followed Mando and Grogu’s adventures, and with a long wait – especially after a difficult 2025 – many fans might need a refresher. It would be a good idea to rewatch some of the show’s most important episodes before the movie is released.
Eli Roth has announced that the sequel to Thanksgiving is facing delays. The main issue is finding a time when all the original actors are available to film, as many have started working on other significant projects in movies, TV shows, and music since the first film came out.
