"The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffery), a lowly hedge knight who happens to be - surprise - very, very tall. He sets out for the town of Ashford and is eventually accompanied by a young boy, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), who becomes his squire. While there, Duncan is put to the test in a tournament, with Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett) rivaling the hedge knight. The series takes place nearly 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and nearly 100 years after the events of the ongoing prequel series, House of the Dragon."
"A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros... a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends."
"The six-episode season will receive its premiere on HBO and HBO Max on Sunday, January 18th, 2026, with the remaining episodes arriving each subsequent Sunday. Unlike Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, the show's episodes will be around 30 minutes as opposed to an hour. Sign up for HBO Max to watch A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms here. As for the other Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon, Season 2 concluded in August 2024; Season 3 is currently filming, and showrunner Ryan Condal confirmed the show would be ending after Season 4."
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms premieres January 18, 2026 on HBO and HBO Max. The six-episode season adapts George R.R. Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas.

The series is set roughly a century before Game of Thrones and a century after House of the Dragon. Episodes will run around 30 minutes each, with weekly releases following the premiere.
