It's not certain whether or not Seven Kings Must Die will release everywhere. Netflix doesn't have the global rights for The Lsat Kingdom. Some countries, such as the Netherlands, will have to wait a bit longer before the new season is released. Internationally, the series also airs on BBC First in various countries.
