When is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms set? Game of Thrones timeline explained
The six-episode series follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg in a prequel set 90 years before Game of Thrones and has been renewed for a second season.
- HBO adapted George R.R. Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg into a six-episode series that premiered recently on Sky and NOW, starring Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell.
- With roughly 12,000 years of lore available, HBO chose the project to mine George R.R. Martin's extensive history and expand the Game of Thrones timeline roughly a century before the original series.

- Plotlines tie to Targaryen succession and the Blackfyre Rebellion, with lingering resentments across Westeros raising tensions after King Daeron II faced Daemon Blackfyre.
