Overview

• The debut trailer was shown at New York Comic Con, with weekly episodes to air Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max beginning January 18, 2026.
• Peter Claffey leads as Ser Duncan the Tall alongside Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg, joined by Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, Daniel Ings and a broad supporting cast.
• Co-creator George R. R. Martin and showrunner Ira Parker present a grounded, low‑magic story centered on commoners and knight‑errantry rather than court politics.
• Season 1 comprises six installments running roughly 30–35 minutes and replaces the franchise’s elaborate opening sequence with a simple title card.
• Set about a century before Game of Thrones, the first season follows Dunk and Egg through events teased in the trailer such as the Ashford Meadow tourney, with future novellas eyed for adaptation if the series continues.
