House of the Dragon season 2 has been keeping us busy for the past few months, and while we eagerly await further news of when we'll be getting a HOTD season 3, we're pleased to report that there's a new Game of Thrones spin-off in town: A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms.
Before Sunday's finale episode of HOTD, fans were treated to a Max promo revealing first look footage at some of the platform's most major upcoming releases in 2024 and 2025, including a sneak peek at A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Owen Harris, known for directing episodes from Black Mirror, Misfits, and The Twilight Zone, will be leading on the first season's first three episodes, while Martin and Ira Parker are set to write and executive produce the series.
With House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal also joining Owen Harris, Sarah Bradshaw, and Vince Gerardis as EPs, it's safe to say we're in for a treat.
So what do we know about the Game of Thrones spin-off so far? Here's what's been revealed about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ debut season so far, including when it's due to be released, as well as plot, cast and trailer.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms plot
Set a century prior to the events of Game of Thrones, the upcoming fantasy drama series is based on George R.R. Martin’s Dunk and Egg books, with the first season due to adapt the initial novella The Hedge Knight and to be followed with adaptations of The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes place during a time when Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and images of the last dragon remain in living memory, seeing two unlikely heroes navigating their way through trials and tribulations in Westeros. The series is set to focus on the young yet valiant knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg.
