The latest prequel project isA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight(such a catchy title), set approximately 90 years before the events ofGame of Thronesand about a century afterHouse of The Dragon. As for its plot, it’ll follow the story of ‘Dunk and Egg’, otherwise known as Ser Duncan the Tall and Aegon V Targaryen, with the first HBO season set to explain how these companions came together.
It’s time to return to theHouse of The Dragonwith its official trailer!
In total, three novellas focus on these characters, with George R.R. Martin (who is working withHBOon the project) hopeful that HBO will follow the story through to the end. However, only one season has been given the go-ahead. Despite its announcement, when the show will actually air is still unknown, “There is no date set yet for the series premiere, or even for the show to begin shooting… but the writing is well underway,”explainedMartin in an April blog post on his website.

Exciting though this is, GoT fans are still harbouring disappointment over thelack of a video game adaptation. Granted, the epic narrative of the books and TV series do lend themselves to the RPG genre, however, with titles likeThe WitcherandThe Elder Scrollsalready dominating in that department, it’s doubtful a AAA GoT game will ever be made.
But that is a problem for another day, as, in the words of Martin himself, “Today, we’re celebrating. Dunk & Egg are coming.”
