20. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms release date: January 18, 2026

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is the second spin-off in the Game of Thrones universe - an adaptation of the prequel novellas Tales of Dunk and Egg, set roughly 80 years after House of the Dragon and 90 years before the main show.

The series revolves around a hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall aka Dunk (Peter Claffey) and his squire Aegon Targaryen aka Egg (Sol Ansell), as they adventure their way across Westeros in their quest to become legends.

This spin-off will notably have a lighter tone than either of the two previous series, focused instead on the charming friendship between Dunk and Egg, though the trailers certainly suggest it still retains the epic scope, brutal action, and visual majesty of its predecessors.

And in case you're dreading what the future may hold for it, HBO has already renewed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for a second season, which just recently began shooting in Belfast.
