Welcome to Westeros as you have never seen it before. The world -class master class first met the audience in HBO's "Game of Thrones" (and further explored in the "House of the Dragon" series) is set for another great work of expansion, this time in the form of "Knight of the Seven Kingdoms". Where previous performances focused on royal vines and dragons and terrible targariens in the hope of usurping the iron throne, This special story about spin-off "Game of Thrones" set on debut in 2026 It could not have been different: a modest traveler who focuses on two of the most incredible heroes ever appearing in the franchise.

Their fans will be forgiven that they are less familiar with this material than previous performances, given that much humble origin. Fantasy author and professional delay George RD Martin initially published the first story (titled "Hedge Knight") that will form the basis for his books "Dunk and Egg" back in 1998. It was intended to be an independent adventure set in the same universe as its current books "Song of Ice and Fire" (What, yes, Martin is yet to finish).

But unlike the "Dragon House", which winds the clock back 200 years before the events of the TV show "Game of Thrones", the knight of the seven kingdoms "takes place much closer in the time frame, as now discussed Fun weekly. About 50 years after the last of Targaryen Dragons die (and, the latest news of Targaryen's supremacy) and less than a century before the first episode of "Game of Thrones", "Fulking Hedge Knight" named Ser Duncan "Dunc" to the highest. What follows is history - literally!

How different is the experience "Game of Thrones" and "House of the Dragon"? Well, you will notice immediately from the opening moments of each episode. The EW report confirms that the "knight of the seven kingdoms" will omit the usual loan animation that both of HBO's previous shows were used to facilitate viewers in Westeros. Instead, this will throw us directly into the action with nothing but the title card. As Ira Parker explains, the creative team of the show took a direct inspiration from the main character of the story:

"All decisions went down to dunk, trying to channel the type of personality in every aspect of this show, even the title of sequence. Ramin Aavadi score is orchestra and great and beautiful. It's not really Dunk, he's ordinary and he's not much. him.

That the attitude without important extension extends to the central dynamics between themselves and the young egg, a characteristic bald-head-to-head that readers know there is a backstew that will be stretched out in the history of Westeros-but it is a long way. For the time being, Parker compares this setting with the "14th century Britain", focusing on a particular class of people without the care of magic or throne or political backup. All dunk and egg are their skills, their relationship and, as Parker describes, "very heart". Even a glorious difficult promise Martin found himself as wins in the direction of the show. General audiences can see it on their own when the "knight of the seven kingdoms" debuted on HBO in January 2026.
