Game of Thrones spinoff series, A Knight of Seven Kings has been pushed for 2026.
Warner Bros. Discovery execs had previously said that the series would air by the end of 2025.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is adapted from George R.R. Martin’s novella “The Hedge Knight,” and will follow the exploits of the knight Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his young squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), roughly 100 years before the events of “Game of Thrones” and 100 years after the events of “House of the Dragon.” Dunk and Egg’s journey will take them to a competition in which they encounter several members of the Targaryen dynasty — including Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett), Prince Baelor Targaryen (Bertie Carvel) and Prince Maekar Targaryen (Sam Spruell) — along with another knight known as the Laughing Storm, Ser Lyonel Baratheon (Daniel Ings), and a puppeteer named Tanselle (Tanzyn Crawford).
The full logline for the series is: “A century before the events of ‘Game of Thrones,’ two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.”
“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is written and executive produced by Martin and Ira Parker (“The Sympathizer,” “House of the Dragon”). Ryan Condal (the showrunner and co-creator of HBO’s “House of the Dragon”), Vince Gerardis, Owen Harris and Sarah Bradshaw are executive producing.Sarah Adina Smith (“Lessons In Chemistry,” “Hanna”) will direct three of the six episodes for Season 1; executive producer Harris will direct the other three episodes.
