HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Premieres Sunday With Simultaneous Global Release

The six-part Dunk and Egg adaptation shifts the Game of Thrones universe to a smaller‑scale, dragon‑free tale set a century earlier.

Overview

  • Episode 1 debuts January 18 at 10 p.m. ET on HBO and Max, with a coordinated rollout that lands early Monday in Europe and parts of South America.
  • Season 1 spans six weekly episodes through late February, with installments running roughly 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Drawn from George R. R. Martin’s The Hedge Knight, the story centers on Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg during the Ashford tournament era.
  • Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell lead the cast, with Bertie Carvel, Finn Bennett and Sam Spruell among the supporting players.
  • HBO has already renewed the series for a second season, signaling plans to continue adapting the Dunk and Egg novellas.
