Games of Thrones fans will be over the moon with this. A new prequel has been announced.
A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms will air in the US on unveiled service Max, which unveiled its slate of programming on Wednesday, which also includes a new Harry Potter TV series.
A UK streaming site is yet to be announced, although it is most likely to air on Sky Atlantic and NOW, as Game Of Thrones and other prequel series House Of The Dragon both featured there.
The programme is adapting George RR Martin’s “Dunk and Egg” novellas, and is set a century before the events of the original series.
No premiere date was announced, but this taster was…
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 improbably and incomparable friends.
