Game of Thrones Prequel ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Premieres in Berlin Ahead of Jan. 19 HBO Max Launch

George R. R. Martin, the series co-creator, frames the six-part tale as a more down-to-earth chapter in Westeros.

Overview

  • The world premiere was held in Berlin with George R. R. Martin in attendance.
  • The season consists of six episodes and begins streaming on HBO Max on Monday, Jan. 19.
  • Set about a century before Game of Thrones, the series adapts Martin’s Dunk and Egg novellas known as Der Heckenritter von Westeros.
  • Peter Claffey stars as Ser Duncan alongside Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg, who described the roughly two-year shoot as an “absolutely crazy experience.”
  • One outlet reports a pre-launch renewal for a second season, and Martin has signaled there are more Dunk and Egg stories to tell.
