Overview
- Episode 1 streams on Monday, January 19, 2026, with the remaining five episodes rolling out weekly each Monday.
- Set roughly a century before Game of Thrones, the series follows Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his squire Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell).
- Drawn from George R. R. Martin’s Dunk-and-Egg novellas, the adaptation favors intimate storytelling over large-scale fantasy spectacle.
- The show adopts a gentler, often humorous tone with no dragons, presenting Westeros from a working-class perspective.
- HBO Max pairs the launch with the full Game of Thrones catalog and House of the Dragon, offering access in Germany on an ad-supported plan priced at €5.99.
