George R.R. Martin Praises 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' and Confirms Season 2 Plans

The Game of Thrones prequel series will premiere in late 2025, focusing on character-driven storytelling without dragons or large-scale battles.

George R.R. Martin has expressed high praise for HBO's upcoming prequel series 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,' calling it a faithful adaptation of his Dunk & Egg novellas.
The six-episode first season is completed and in post-production, with a premiere expected in late 2025, though no official release date has been announced.
The series will center on Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and his squire Egg, exploring themes of chivalry, duty, and honor in a more intimate, character-focused narrative.
Unlike previous Game of Thrones adaptations, the show will not feature dragons, white walkers, or large-scale battles, instead emphasizing personal stories and relationships.
Martin confirmed plans to adapt the second novella, 'The Sworn Sword,' in a second season, with potential for further installments based on additional novellas in the series.
