Get Ready for the Wildest Ride in Westeros! A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Trailer Drops

The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Trailer: A Glimpse into a Forgotten Era of Westeros

The trailer for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a highly anticipated Game of Thrones spinoff, was revealed at New York Comic Con, with author George R.R. Martin, showrunner Ira Parker, and lead actors Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell in attendance. Produced for HBO Max, the series is based on Martin’s Dunk and Egg novellas and is set 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones.

The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk), a humble and honourable knight, and his quick-witted squire Egg. The trailer teases Dunk’s transformation from squire to knight as he vows to protect the vulnerable, all while journeying to the Ashford tourney—a key event in the story. Despite doubt from others, including members of House Targaryen, Dunk’s courage and sense of justice stand out, with Egg offering both humour and heart as his loyal companion.

HBO Max announced: “A tall tale that became legend. The new #GameOfThrones series, #AKnightoftheSevenKingdoms, premieres January 18 on HBO Max.” In India, the series will stream on JioHotstar starting January 19.

Set during a time when the Targaryens still rule Westeros and the memory of dragons lingers, the show promises powerful foes, epic adventures, and deep bonds of friendship. The official synopsis describes Dunk as “a young, naïve but courageous knight” and Egg as his “diminutive squire,” as they navigate a dangerous and politically charged realm.

The six-episode series, co-written by Martin and Ira Parker and co-directed by Adina Smith and Owen Harris, features a strong ensemble cast including Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, and Tanzyn Crawford. Each episode will run approximately 30 minutes, with the finale airing on February 25, 2026.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms offers a fresh lens into Westeros, expanding the rich lore of the Game of Thrones universe.
