Max has released the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Game of Thrones spin-off series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. This new show will feature Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall and Dexter Sol Ansell as Aegon V Targaryen, also known as Dunk and Egg. Set a century before the original Game of Thrones series, this prequel will explore the adventures of these two unlikely heroes as they navigate the complex and dangerous world of Westeros. The series is based on George R.R. Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas and will consist of six episodes in its first season, premiering sometime in 2025.

What is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms about?

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a Game of Thrones spin-off series that follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg, who later becomes King Aegon V Targaryen. Set 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series explores their journey through Westeros during the rule of the Targaryen dynasty.
