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.
