Dunk and Egg Bring Heart—and Hope—Back to Westeros

Critics hail HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms as a self-contained, heartfelt prequel set about a century before Game of Thrones, centering Dunk and Egg in a intimate two-hander that forgoes epic battles in favor of warmth, humor, and emotion. The adaptation faithfully translates The Hedge Knight with new scenes and strong performances by Dexter Sol Ansell and Peter Claffey, delivering a hopeful, character-driven mood that some compare to a Hobbit-esque adventure. With six 31–42 minute episodes, it could be the franchise’s most rewatchable entry, ending on a moment that evokes elation rather than despair. Debuts January 18, 2026 on HBO and HBO Max.

Tiny Tournament, Big World: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Brings Heart to Westeros

Variety’s review argues that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a tightly scaled, character-driven prequel set about 90 years before Game of Thrones, following Dunk the Tall and his squire Egg through a single tournament. It moves away from epic battles toward intimate stakes, delivering strong performances, high production value, and a pragmatic, humane worldview that fits Martin’s world; it’s savvy IP expansion, with a second season already ordered and a January 18 HBO premiere.

Dunk and Egg Deliver a Gritty, Personal Westeros Tourney

HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a six-episode, self-contained Dunk the Hedge Knight tale set between Dance of the Dragons and Game of Thrones, focusing on the dirtier side of being a knight. Dunk and his squire Egg navigate a brutal Ashford Meadows tourney, where loyalty is bought and power corrupts, delivering a gritty, intimate Westeros with strong performances, clever writing, and a surprising blend of grim violence and bawdy humor. Though rooted in George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg, it stands on its own and is welcoming to newcomers, with season two already greenlit.
