The release date window for HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight series has been revealed, with the Game of Thrones spin-off series set to release next year.
During their Q4 earnings call on Friday (via TVLine), Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav revealed that the spin-off series is currently eyeing a “late 2025” release date. Originally announced in 2023, The Hedge Knight will be the second official spin-off of the hit series Game of Thrones.
No further information was detailed however, but with filming set to begin this year, the show seems on track for it’s debut.
What is The Hedge Knight based on?
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is based on the Martin’s Dunk and Egg novella. The short tale centers on Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and Aegon V Targaryen (Egg), set a hundred years before the events of the main series. The series is expected to run for six episodes.
“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,” reads the series’ logline. “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.”
