‘Game of Thrones’ is undoubtedly regarded as one of the best television series of all time. Its popularity has led to the expansion of the franchise with spin-offs and prequels. The makers have now announced a new spin-off titled ‘A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms’, which is set in the same world as ‘Game of Thrones’.
‘A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms’ is set a century before the events of Game of Thrones, but 72 years after the beginning of ‘House Of The Dragon’. The series will release on HBO Max in January 2026 and will stream in India in January 2026.
While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Ira Parker, a former writer on House of the Dragon and co-creator of this next six-episode series, said, “All decisions came down to Dunk, trying to channel the type of person he is into every aspect of this show, even the title sequence.”
“The title sequences on the original [Game of Thrones] and House of Dragon are big and epic and incredible. Ramin Djawadi’s score is orchestral and large and beautiful. That’s not really Dunk’s M.O. He’s plain and he’s simple and he’s to-the-point. He doesn’t have a lot of flash to him,” she added.
It is based on George R. R. Martin’s book ‘A Song Of Ice And Fire’ and novellas, ‘Tales Of Dunk and Egg’. Peter Claffey has been confirmed to star as Ser Duncan the Tall, the titular role. Dexter Sol Ansell, Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, Tanzyn Crawford, Daniel Ings and Sam Spruell will also appear in the lead roles.
