Fans of the imaginary world of Westeros can expect more news, given that HBO presented the first official teaser for the series "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" at Comicon in New York, which will be a new prequel to the original and world-famous series "Game of Thrones".
The story is set almost a hundred years before the events of “Game of Thrones” and follows an unusual duo - Ser Duncan the High (Peter Klafi) and his young squire Ego (Dekster Sol Ansel) “a boy whose secret identity will forever shape the fate of the Seven Kingdoms.
The series is based on popular novels. George R. R. Martin “Tales of Dunk and Egg.” The trailer released today follows Duncan’s humble beginnings as a masterless knight, the development of his friendship with the mysterious Ego, and their arrival at the tourney at Ashford Meadow. There, the duo will become entangled in a web of powerful family intrigue and dangerous secrets, including the inescapable politics of the Targaryen dynasty.
The author himself, George RR Martin, shared his excitement about the new series with Collider earlier this year.
"I saw 'Danko and Ego', the first season, and it's great. They're working on a second season now. These are two characters that are really special and unusual to me. They're not what most people would expect in a fantasy story," he said.
Martin also pointed out that the series will bring a change of tone from what viewers are used to, and that those expecting huge battles and dragons may be a bit disappointed.
"It's a little more gentle. A little more humorous. I hope the audience will be open to that kind of change," the author added.
The series “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” arrives on HBO and Max in January 2026.
Meanwhile, the audience is waiting for the third season of the series "House of Dragons", and at the end of August the main screenwriter Rajan Kondal has promised that the new sequel to the popular 'Game of Thrones' spin-off will be bigger and more spectacular than ever.
The filming of the series is well underway, and according to plan, "House of the Dragon" should get a fourth season.
