Breaking news for all Game of Thrones fans—a new spin-off series is heading our way!
That’s right, it’s time to push House of the Dragon aside because A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is about to take us a hundred years back, long before Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen became household names.
If you’re pumped to dive into a fresh saga of dragons, massive armies, and epic battles, then get ready. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Game of Thrones spin-off, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
What is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms about?
Here’s the official scoop on the series: “Set a century before Game of Thrones, we follow two unexpected heroes across Westeros—a brave but green knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his small but sharp squire, Egg.
During a time when the Targaryens still reign and dragons are not just legends, Ser Duncan and Egg will face grand destinies, formidable enemies, and thrilling adventures. These unlikely friends are truly one of a kind.” I can’t wait to see this!
Who is the cast of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?
Our leading actors were announced on 5 April, and they are Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell, who will play Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be six episodes, making it shorter than the 10-episode first seasons of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.
What is the release date for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?
There’s no news from Westeros on an exact release date just yet, but we can expect A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to air sometime in 2025.
