HBO has chosen the two protagonists of its next film game of Thrones prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Knight Errant.
The series is based on TheTales of Dunk and Egg, which follows the character of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg. Variety reports it Peter Claffey (Bad sisters) was cast as Dunk, while Dexter Sol Ansell (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) was chosen as Egg.
The series is set a century before the events of game of Thrones“two unlikely heroes roamed Westeros… a young, naive but brave knight, Ser Duncan the Tall (Claffey), and his diminutive squire, Egg (Ansell).”
Set in a time “when the Targaryen lineage still holds the Iron Throne and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful enemies and dangerous deeds await these unlikely and incomparable friends.”
Martin and Ira Parker are writers and executive producers of the new series. Martin has published three novellas to date in the “Tales of Dunk and Egg” series.
Those include The Errant Knight (1998), The sworn sword (2003) e The mysterious knight (2010). A collection of the three novellas, with illustrations by Gary Gianniwas published as A knight of the seven kingdoms in 2015.
This is the second prequel series chosen by Max, after last year’s House of the Dragon.
