Game of Thrones Prequel a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Teaser Gives First Glimpse of Ser Duncan and Egg

As a hardcore Game of Thrones fan who has lived and breathed the world of Westeros for over a decade, I must say that the release of the first teaser trailer for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has sent shivers down my spine! Being a devotee of George R.R. Martin’s work, I’ve eagerly awaited this adaptation of his Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas, and seeing Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall and Dexter Sol Ansell as Aegon Targaryen (Egg) has only fueled my excitement.


As a long-time fan of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series and the Game of Thrones television adaptation, I was absolutely thrilled to hear that a spinoff titled A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been announced and its first teaser trailer released! Growing up, I spent countless hours immersed in the rich and complex world of Westeros, so the prospect of exploring this universe further is truly exciting. The brief glimpse we got from the trailer has already piqued my curiosity, hinting at fresh storylines and characters that promise to expand upon the epic saga we’ve come to know and love. I can’t wait to see what the creators have in store for us!

On August 4th, Max shared a sneak peek containing scenes starring Max as Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and Dexter Sol Ansell as Aegon Targaryen (Egg). This teaser also highlights intense and captivating sequences involving other cast members.

According to George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg, this series is set a century prior to the events in Game of Thrones. These stories include three novellas: The Hedge Knight from 1998, The Sworn Sword from 2003, and The Mystery Knight from 2010. Take a look at the teaser video here:

The initial season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is based on the first novella, A Dance with Dragons’ prequel titled The Hedge Knight. Further seasons will cover the remaining books in the series. This show follows Dunk, a squire-turned-knight, as he embarks on numerous journeys. Though it comes after House of the Dragon, it takes place before Game of Thrones. The story focuses on common folk caught up in the complex power struggles among the nobility.

Dexter Sol Ansell takes on the role of King Aegon V Targaryen (character named Egg), while Finn Bennett portrays Aerion Targaryen, Bertie Carvel plays Baelor Targaryen, Tanzyn Crawford is cast as Tanselle, Daniel Ings assumes the part of Ser Lyonel Baratheon, and Sam Spruell acts as Maekar Targaryen.

As a long-time fan of George R.R. Martin’s epic fantasy series “A Song of Ice and Fire” and its television adaptation, Game of Thrones, I am beyond excited about HBO’s upcoming prequel series set during the Targaryen dynasty, one hundred years before the events of the original show. With Claffey and Ansell confirmed as the lead actors, this new series promises to delve deeper into the complex politics, intrigue, and drama that defined Westeros.

More recently, HBO dealt with leaked snippets from the upcoming second season of House of the Dragon. Swiftly taking action, they eliminated the video clips and are now vigilantly watching for any unauthorized content. The complete episode is set to premiere on both HBO and Max this coming Sunday.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is set to premiere in 2025.
