"HBO is understandably eager to keep building its Game of Thrones universe, even if the output has been nowhere near equal to the effort invested. The studio has been toiling away for years since Game of Thrones officially ended, but of the seemingly endless ideas that HBO teased, only two came to fruition, and one was trapped in purgatory. That's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a grounded adventure set in the centuries between Thrones and its prequel series, House of the Dragon."
"It's hard not to think of the noble knights from earlier shows, like Brienne of Tarth, when introduced to Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey). He's a good-hearted guy beneath all the grime, though he's lacking a purpose. His adventures begin after the demise of his master, leaving him free to compete in a tournament to fill his coin purse."
HBO continues expanding the Game of Thrones universe with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a grounded adventure set centuries before House of the Dragon. The series follows Ser Duncan the Tall, a no-fuss hedge knight, whose master's death sends him into tournaments to earn coin. He encounters a small, bald boy calling himself Egg, who has ties to a prominent family but will not be the show's focus. Showrunner Ira Parker signals a smaller-folk approach and the absence of epic opening credits. Production faced delays, but the series now has a January 18 release date and an official trailer.
