Martin. The series, adapting Dunk and Egg, will run six 30–40 minute episodes with a slow burn rather than a quick shock.

Dunk and Egg Spinoff Sets Westeros Clockback in Dragonless Times

HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a Game of Thrones universe prequel set about a century before Game of Thrones and roughly 70 years after House of the Dragon, following Dunk and his squire Egg in a Dragon-free Westeros. Adapted from The Hedge Knight (set in 209 AC), the show traces a period when the Targaryens have lost dragons and faced waning power, introducing royal figures like Baelor and Aerion while highlighting the lives of common folk. The narrative connects to broader Targaryen history and carries fan‑fave links to Brienne of Tarth as a potential Dunk ancestor, bridging the era between House of the Dragon and the events of Thrones."

Martin Vows to Finish The Winds of Winter, No Substitutes Allowed

George R.R. Martin says The Winds of Winter remains his focus, estimating around 1,100 pages and noting he’ll rewrite as needed rather than rush to finish; he won’t let another author complete the book, and if he dies or is incapacitated, the work would be unfinished much like Dickens’ Edwin Drood. The piece also flags his excitement about HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms premiering Jan. 18 and touches on fan questions about a Jon Snow sequel and tensions with House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal.
