The film adaptation of George R.R. Martin's three Dunk and Egg books was originally set to premiere in late 2025. According to reports, the drama will now begin filming in early 2026. Season two of the GoT prequel House of the Dragon will follow later this year.
The six-episode first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is based on the first Dunk and Egg book, The Hedge Knight. Martin has already approved the new series.
HBO's Head of Drama Series and Film Francesca Orsi spoke earlier this year about A Knight of Seven Kingdoms, which is being made on a smaller, more "intimate" scale than the other Game of Thrones series, and confirmed that the series is still on track for a three-season run.
“You’re going be so impressed by Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell as Dunk and Egg, the two leads,” she said. “So much so that we’re already planning on how do we build this for the three seasons in total. We’re not picking it up officially, but it’s looking very good.”
