Overview

• HBO has confirmed that ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight’ is targeting a late 2025 release, shifting from its initially expected summer debut.
• The series is based on George R. R. Martin’s novellas set a century before ‘Game of Thrones,’ featuring Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg, a future Targaryen king.
• Unlike its predecessors, the show will adopt an episodic storytelling style, potentially offering a lighter tone compared to ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘House of the Dragon.’
• The cast includes Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan, with other key roles played by Dexter Sol Ansell, Finn Bennett, and Bertie Carvel as members of the Targaryen family.
• The six-episode series is expected to help fill the gap until the return of ‘House of the Dragon’ Season 3, which is slated for 2026.
