A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Premieres Sunday on HBO and Max at 10 p.m. ET

The new prequel focuses on Dunk with his squire Egg in a more intimate Westeros tale set long before Game of Thrones without dragons.

Overview

  • Episode 1 arrives January 18 at 10 p.m. ET on HBO with streaming on Max, with simultaneous rollouts pegged to local regional times.
  • Most coverage lists a six-episode season released weekly, though one outlet reports seven episodes, indicating a minor discrepancy.
  • Peter Claffey stars as Ser Duncan the Tall with Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg, alongside Daniel Ings, Bertie Carvel, Sam Spruell and a wider ensemble.
  • Set roughly a century before Game of Thrones and after House of the Dragon, the story features Targaryen rule without dragons and a smaller, character-driven scope.
  • HBO has confirmed a second season in advance of the premiere, signaling continued expansion of the franchise.
