Based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas by George R. R. Martin, A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is an upcoming fantasy action drama series. A spin-off to Game of Thrones, the series takes place a century before the events of the original series and seven decades after House of the Dragon. The plot revolves around the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall, a hedge knight, and his squire, Egg or Aegon, a Targaryen prince. If you are wondering when the series is coming out, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all the A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight release date?
A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight’s release date is expected to arrive by late 2025.
In January 2021, various outlets reported that a TV adaptation of Martin’s novellas was in early development at HBO. The network officially greenlit the series in April 2023. David Zaslov, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, revealed during the February 2024 earnings call that the show was in pre-production. He also stated that the show will premiere sometime in late 2025.
Tales of Dunk and Egg has three entries as of February 2024. The Hedge Knight came out in 1998, The Sworn Sword in 2003, and The Mystery Knight in 2010. So, the viewers can expect the upcoming series to have at least three seasons. A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is one of the three GoT spin-offs to enter pre-production after Bloodmoon and House of the Dragon. In an April 2023 blog post, Martin explained why the series isn’t titled Dunk and Egg.
“The working title will be A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS: THE HEDGE KNIGHT,” the renowned author explained. “Whether that will be the final title, I can’t say for sure… beyond saying that no, it won’t be called TALES OF DUNK & EGG or THE ADVENTURES OF DUNK & EGG or DUNK & EGG or anything along those lines. I love Dunk and I love Egg, and I know that fans refer to my novellas as ‘the Dunk & Egg stories,’ sure, but there are millions of people out there who do not know the stories and the title needs to intrigue them too. If you don’t know the characters, DUNK & EGG sounds like a sitcom. LAVERNE & SHIRLEY. ABBOTT & COSTELLO. BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD. So, no. We want ‘knight’ in the title. Knighthood and chivalry are central to the themes of these stories.”
HBO has not revealed the cast of A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight yet. The production will reportedly begin in the spring of 2024. Ira Parker will serve as the creator, with Martin attached to the production as writer and executive producer.
This date is an estimation based on the information we have at the time of this writing.
Where is A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight coming out?
A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is anticipated to come out on HBO and HBO Max on late 2025.
This is because the network is developing the series like other projects in the Game of Thrones franchise. ComingSoon will provide an update when the network announces the show’s exact release date.
The official synopsis for A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight reads:
“A century before the events of “Game of Thrones”, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.”
