PREVIEW: What to Expect from 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms'
Feeling the withdrawals of Westeros? Well, here is some news that might cure what ails you.
"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" is set 72 years after "House of the Dragon" and 100 years before "Game of Thrones," as the network fills in the huge timeline of the fantasy franchise. The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg, as they travel across Westeros together.
The teaser gave a glimpse of what is to come to the new prequel series from HBO.
Peter Claffey is introduced as Ser Duncan the Tall, a character from George R.R. Martin’s Dunk and Egg novellas, which are set in the same universe but take place about 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones. This series will delve into the adventures of Ser Duncan and his squire Egg.
The promo features sword fighting and a familiar-looking landscape that evokes the rich world-building of the original series. This suggests that the spinoff will maintain the epic scale and intricate details that fans of Game of Thrones have come to love.
The series will be based on The Hedge Knight, the first novella in the Tales of Dunk and Egg series. These novellas follow Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and his squire Egg (who is actually Aegon V Targaryen) as they navigate adventures in Westeros about 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones. The adaptation will be structured into six episodes, promising a deep dive into the world of Dunk and Egg. The show is set to premiere in 2025, giving fans plenty of time to anticipate its arrival.
The full cast has been revealed:
With this lineup, there’s a lot to look forward to in the coming months. The spinoff’s focus on Ser Duncan the Tall adds a new dimension to the Game of Thrones world, and the familiar landscapes hint at the show’s connection to its predecessor. Fans of the series will likely be eager to see how this new chapter unfolds!
