Warner Bros. announced that Game of Thrones: Aegon's Conquest will hit theaters in June 2029, featuring director Owen Harris and writer Beau Willimon. The film explores the Targaryen dynasty's origins, fitting into a larger multi-year release schedule that includes upcoming seasons of House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Warner Bros. has officially scheduled the first ever Game of Thrones feature film, titled Game of Thrones: Aegon's Conquest, for a theatrical release in June 2029. Reported originally by Polygon, the project pulls together serious creative talent with director Owen Harris and writer Beau Willimon leading the charge. Willimon brings heavy narrative weight from his work on Andor and House of Cards, while Harris has deep experience within the broader HBO universe.
The film will take audiences back long before the events of the original television series. Set roughly three centuries before the main show and a century before House of the Dragon, the story follows Aegon I as he unites Westeros with his legendary dragons. For fans who view this expansive universe as a core entertainment staple, the move to theaters signals a major shift in how HBO plans to scale its biggest fantasy property.
This theatrical release is part of a broader, steady rollout of Westeros content over the next few years. Television audiences will still get their regular fixes, with season two of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms slated for 2027 and the final season of House of the Dragon expected in 2028. It is a massive transmedia strategy designed to keep the fandom fully engaged across both living rooms and cinema multiplexes for the remainder of the decade.
