Game of Thrones prequel show A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms narrows down release date
As a seasoned connoisseur of Westeros sagas, having traversed through the trials and tribulations of the Seven Kingdoms since the dawn of the Iron Throne, I must say that the forthcoming series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has piqued my interest like no other. Having immersed myself in George R.R. Martin’s Dunk & Egg novellas years ago, I can attest to their lighter, more whimsical tone that will surely provide a refreshing change from the heavy burdens often borne by our beloved characters.
In 2025, instead of returning to Westeros as we did this year with House of the Dragon season 2, we’ll be embarking on an entirely new Game of Thrones-like journey: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. This upcoming series is inspired by George R.R. Martin’s Dunk & Egg novellas and follows the escapades of a good-natured but somewhat dimwitted knight named Ser Duncan the Tall, accompanied by his clever squire, Egg. The tales from Dunk & Egg are more lighthearted compared to the heavy, somber narratives Martin usually crafts in Westeros, promising a unique and enjoyable experience.
For some time, we’ve been aware that “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is scheduled to air in 2025. As the end of this year approaches, we’re starting to get more specific information. According to Variety, JB Perrette, head of global streaming at Warner Bros. Discovery, has hinted that “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” will be released during the summer of 2025. However, Variety’s own sources suggest a later release date in late 2025. In contrast, HBO’s other major genre series for this year, “The Last of Us,” is expected to premiere its second season in the spring of 2025.
Indeed, these dates are later than I initially anticipated, but that doesn’t have to be a negative aspect. On the contrary, it offers additional time in post-production for both “The Last of Us” and “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”, which can potentially result in more robust television seasons. Furthermore, this delay means that we’ll have two significant genre tentpole shows from HBO – one at the start and another towards the end of 2025 – ensuring a consistent viewing experience for us throughout the year. I’m certain that the subscription tracking team for Max will be delighted with this development.
In terms of what’s coming up in “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”, this initial six-episode season will be based on George R.R. Martin’s novellas titled “The Hedge Knight”. These stories introduce us to characters Dunk and Egg, with Dunk being a newly knighted individual who heads towards Ashford Meadow for a tournament. This serves as the backstory for these characters, and except for a few initial scenes, the entire story unfolds during this grand event. The events of “The Hedge Knight” take place around 90 years before “Game of Thrones”, an era when the dragons of House Targaryen have become extinct. This allows the show to invest more of its budget into portraying a lavish tournament, something that “Game of Thrones” and “House of the Dragon” weren’t able to do as extensively. George R.R. Martin seems pleased with how it’s shaping up, which has definitely piqued my interest in watching it.
We’ll keep our fingers crossed for fresh updates on “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” as we move into the new year. But if you can’t wait that long to dive into these tales, the three published “Dunk & Egg” novellas are compiled in a single book titled “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.” It’s a quick read and definitely worth your time!
