HBO Drops Teaser for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Sets NYCC Trailer and January 2026 Premiere

The prequel pivots to a stripped-down, character-first style.

Overview

  • The Game of Thrones account released a short promo today and said the first full trailer will arrive during New York Comic Con on Oct. 9.
  • The series is slated to debut in January 2026 on HBO/Max, with Indian availability reported to be on JioCinema.
  • Season 1 adapts George R.R. Martin’s The Hedge Knight, following Ser Duncan “Dunk” and his squire Egg about a century before Game of Thrones.
  • Creators underscore a smaller scale with no dragons, massive battles, or the franchise’s elaborate opening sequence, using a simple title card instead.
  • Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell star as Dunk and Egg, with reports indicating a six-episode season and Dan Romer composing the score.
