Westeros goes nowhere fast "Knights of the Seven Kingdoms" is the latest "Game of Thrones" spin・off to get off the ground on HBO

"House of the Dragon" is busy bringing the Targaryen Civil War to life, but this new series centers on a dunk, a nomadic knight, and 2 of his squire, an Egg (George R R McManus)RIt is set to speak (written by Martin and Ira Parker)

Dunk and egg adaptations were first reported by Variety in 2021 It is rumored that in 2021 After 2 years, we found out that it got the order of the series straight at Max And while all eyes may now be in "House of The Dragon" Season 2, we got more information about the next spin-off, which took place about 1 century before everything that happened in the original HBO saga

Below, everything we know about "Knights of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight", all confirmed stars, a short overview of what's to come, and want to see it

At the time of writing, Max has not confirmed the release date of "Knights of the Seven Kingdoms"

HBO confirmed that the new series went into production in 2024-6-18That means, judging by the production cycles of past "Thrones" shows, it will take a while to turn to the show For example, "House of the Dragon" Season 2 went into production in 2023/4/11 and did not start broadcasting until 2024/6/16 

Even allowing for the fact that "Knights of the Seven Kingdoms" is a shorter series, this new spin-off follows a similar pattern and may not air until 2025 David Zaslav, the CEO of Discovery, told the Hollywood Reporter in 2024 that it would be 2 months 

At the time, Zaslav said, "George R R Martin is prototyping a new spinoff, Knights of the Seven Kingdoms, which will premiere at Max in late 2025" 

If HBO can maintain this plan and "House of The Dragon" continues its 2-year production cycle, we may be visiting Westeros every year 

hbo's log line of the series, 1 century before the event of "Game of Thrones," 2 improbable heroes wandered through Westeros A young, naive but brave knight, Sir Duncan the tall, and his little squire, the egg Set in an era when the line of Targaryen still holds the Iron throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from the living memory, great destinies, powerful enemies, and dangerous exploits are all waiting for these improbable incomparable friends" 

It has been widely reported that this first season of "A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms" is being pulled from "The Hedge Knight," the first Dunk & Egg novella Spoiler alert here; It outlines what happens in that first book

"The Hedge Knight" tells of how Dunk, a poor boy from the bottom of a flea, became a hedge Knight (a wandering knight without a master) In the story, the hedge knight, who Dunk had been a squire for many years, died On his deathbed, Sir Erlan of Penny Tree probably dunk the Knights 

After weighing his options, Dunk decided to continue to the town of Ashford, with Reach (picking up eggs on the way) where he wanted to participate in the tournament It doesn't ruin exactly what's going on in Ashford, but note that the story sees them crossing the road with some members of the Targaryen Dynasty

The main star of "Knights of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight" was named in 2024-4 

The dunk will be drawn by Peter Claffey, who you may know from the Apple TV Plus original "Bad Sisters" Joining him as his squire, Egg, is Dexter Sol Ansel, who was recently seen in The Hunger Games: Songbird and Snake Ballad

When production began, we learned a lot more about the identities of the stars and who they would play in "Hedge Night" Below you can find the current cast list as of the latest announcement

Given that we are still in the early stages of development, it is difficult to still have an opinion about the "Knights of the Seven Kingdoms" But the story of 3 dunk and egg written so far George RRIf you look at the discussions and reviews of Martin's fans, you will soon get another must-see fantasy series

Fans of Martin's undoubtedly work appreciate the story of Dunk and egg They are recommended to be shorter, lighter, and a little more refreshing tone than some of his other stories 

Given what I've seen so far, and who's in the frame, I think this first installment, "The Hedge Knight," will bring a fun, smaller scope to Hbo's version of Seven Kingdoms
