Dunk and Egg Step onto HBO’s Stage: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Unfolds
HBO is developing A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a six-episode spin-off based on George R.R. Martin’s The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword, and The Mystery Knight. Set about 72 years after House of the Dragon and roughly a century before Game of Thrones, it follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg in a character‑driven tale that emphasizes duty and chivalry over dragons. The series is reportedly cheaper to produce per episode, features Peter Claffey as Duncan and Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg, and premieres January 18, 2026 on HBO and HBO Max with weekly episodes; two trailers have been released and Martin describes it as a faithful adaptation of his books.
