The Next ‘Game Of Thrones’ Spinoff ‘A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms’ Is Just Around The Corner

The six-episode series adapts George R.R. Martin's Dunk and Egg novellas, focusing on ordinary people without dragons or magic, and premieres on HBO in January 2026.

  • In January 2026, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms debuts on HBO after production wrapped earlier this year in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and HBO Max released the first poster featuring Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell.
  • Based on George R.R. Martin's Dunk and Egg novellas, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms adapts 1998's The Hedge Knight and is set 90 years before Game of Thrones.
  • A six-episode season introduces Dunk and Egg, starring Peter Claffey, Dexter Sol Ansell, Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel and others, with showrunner Ira Parker shaping the series around Dunk's character.
  • Showrunner Ira Parker framed the series as an intimate, human drama rather than epic fantasy, dropping dragons and magic to focus on knighthood and ordinary people, a shift George R.R. Martin praised earlier this year.
  • Fans are now awaiting trailers and the official release date ahead of January 2026, while HBO is reportedly considering a two-season renewal as the show joins other Game of Thrones spin-offs.
