About A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms teaser
Based on George R. R. Martin’s novella The Hedge Knight, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms follows Ser Duncan the Tall, also known as Dunk, and his young squire, Egg. Set nearly 100 years before Game of Thrones and a century after House of the Dragon, this upcoming spin-off explores Dunk and Egg’s journey through Westeros.
The trailer showcases the thrilling journey of Ser Duncan the Tall as he strives to make a name for himself as a noble knight in the Seven Kingdoms. Despite skepticism from others, including members of the Targaryen family, Dunk remains true to his oath to protect the weak. Accompanying him is his young squire, Egg, as the duo sets out for the Ashford tourney.
HBO Max announced, “A tall tale that became legend. The new GameOfThrones series, AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms, premieres January 18 on HBO Max (sic).”
