A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Game of Thrones Spin Off 'Could only Be Filmed in NI'

On Jan. 18, HBO debuts A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a six-episode half-hour series airing Sundays at 10 p.m., arriving months before the next House of the Dragon season.
By adapting the Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas, the series opens with the 1998 novella The Hedge Knight and serves as an appetizer for House of the Dragon, HBO positions.
The pilot introduces Dunk by showing Ser Duncan the Tall, played by Peter Claffey, burying Ser Arlan of Pennytree and taking Egg, played by Dexter Sol Ansell, as his squire after initial reluctance.
HBO has already renewed the series for a second season expected to adapt The Sworn Sword, with Ira Parker, showrunner, ensuring creative consistency by writing or co-writing each episode.
Set about a century after House of the Dragon, the series portrays a time when dragons are believed extinct and the realm’s seven kingdoms enjoy relative peace.
