A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a six-episode prequel to Game of Thrones, premieres on HBO Max and JioHotstar, adapting George R.R. Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas. Set nearly a century before Game of Thrones during Targaryen rule, it follows Ser Duncan the Tall, a lowborn hedge knight, and his squire Egg on intimate adventures across Westeros. The series emphasizes character-driven storytelling, emotional intimacy, and a quieter tone, distinct from the larger political conflicts and dragons of previous shows.
