The official logline for the series confirms that the show will take place during a time when the Targaryens still wield significant power. It remains unconfirmed if dragons will make an appearance. The series is based on George R. R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg. The official synopsis reads:
“A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.”
