George Martin's screen universe will soon expand with a new Game of Thrones spin-off based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg.
The premiere of the series “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight” will take place in January. At Comic Con in New York, the showrunner of the project, Ira Parker, admitted that while creating the first season, he was thinking of only one viewer — George R. R. Martin himself.
«They say that when you write, you shouldn't try to please everyone. You need to choose one person and write for them. This season, the first one, I wrote for George. If he's happy, then I'm happy too.»
It seems the idea was a success. Earlier in his blog, Martin noted that he had already watched all six episodes and was delighted.
«Dunk and Egg have always been my favorites, and the actors they found for their roles are just incredible. The rest are amazing too. Wait until you meet the Laughing Storm and Tanselle Too Tall.»
The premiere of “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight” will take place on January 18, 2026 on HBO.
