‘Game Of Thrones’ spin-off ‘A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms’ shares first look teaser
The first teaser of the Game Of Thrones spinoff series A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms has been shared – check it out below.
The upcoming show is expected to consist of six episodes and will air in 2025 on HBO. It will be an adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s novella The Hedge Knight, which is set roughly 100 years before the events of Game Of Thrones and a century after House Of The Dragon.
Peter Claffey is set to star as Ser Duncan The Tall (aka Dunk), a penniless squire who ends up a knight, alongside Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg. The series is being co-written by former House Of The Dragon writer Ira Parker, with current showrunner Ryan Condal describing the books as “a lone wolf and cub story told in this vast canvas”, in an interview with EW.
Now, the first glimpse of the show has arrived as part of HBO’s video preview of their 2025 properties. It shows Claffey in full armour and donning his helmet while some hand-to-hand combat goes down in a graveyard. See the video here:
Other shows to be previewed in the video include The White Lotus season three and The Last Of Us season two, as well as And Just Like That, Peacemaker, Hacks, The Rehearsal, It: Welcome To Derry and The Pitt.
In a post on his Not A Blog in June, Martin confirmed that A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms had begun filming in Belfast, which he noted was “where much of the original GAME OF THRONES was shot.”
“Based on my novella The Hedge Knight, the new show will debut early next year, in 2025. Only six episodes for this one. A novella is considerably shorter than a novel (particularly one of my novels), so there’s less source material,” he added.
It follows on from the second season of House Of The Dragon, which aired earlier this year and has now been picked up for season three.
In a four-star review of the first season of the spin-off, NME wrote: “What is reassuring is that House Of The Dragon feels as though it is walking on solid ground: the bubbling rivalries, the jostling for power, the eruptions of violence; six episodes in, it is all coming together to create a rich stew.”
