A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is based on the novel Tales of Dunk & Egg, which chronicles the adventures of Ser Duncan the Great, nicknamed Dunk, and the young Aegon Targaryen, called the Egg, his squire. George R. R. Martin, the creator of the Iron Throne saga, will take on the roles of writer and executive producer for this new series, while continuing to work on the last volumes of his famous literary saga.
This prequel will be set chronologically between House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones, immersing fans in a universe that is still unknown. For the moment, no information has been communicated as to the number of seasons planned or if this series will take the form of a mini-series. In the meantime, fans of the Westeros universe will be able to find the first season of House of the Dragon and the entire Game of Thrones on Amazon Prime Video, thanks to the Warner Pass subscription.
