The official logline teases, “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.

Scheduled for a 2025 release on HBO, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is expected to delve into the rich history of Westeros, introducing audiences to new characters and expanding the beloved fantasy world.
