A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms It takes place a century before the events of Game of Thrones. Far from the splendor of the royal court, adventures in chain mail unfolded. The trailer revealed for the spin-off shows a rain-soaked and mud-covered Westeros, where jousting tournaments and chivalry take center stage. The series, which will have six half-hour episodes, will premiere on January 18, 2026 on HBO.
New foray into the universe created by George RR Martin, the plot follows the journey of Ser Duncan the Great, known as “Dunk”, a knight-errant played by Irish actor Peter Claffey, and his young squire nicknamed “Egg”, played by 11-year-old Dexter Sol Ansell. Unlike the complex political intrigues and epic dragon battles that marked game of Thrones AND dragon houseThis new chapter promises a lighter approach.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms constitutes an adaptation of the new The knight errant (The errant knight in original version), first story in the cycle of the adventures of Dunk and the Egg. These stories take place in a time when the Targaryen dynasty still rules the Iron Throne and dragons are remembered.
The series was co-created by George RR Martin himself along with Ira Parker, who also wrote for the first season of Dragon House. This direct involvement of the original author suggests a faithful adaptation to the spirit of the stories.
