During the Wells Fargo TMT Summit, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO and President of Global Streaming JB Perrette revealed HBO’s planned release schedule for some of their big projects like The last of us The second season and spin-off series of Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Knight Errant.
He said: “Our bigger projects started coming back into rotation this summer with House of The Dragon 2, then we’ll go to The White Lotus which will arrive in Q1 in February.
“Then we’ll get into the second season of The Last Of Us in the second quarter, then we’ll have a new Game of Thrones series [A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms]smaller-scale series, which will arrive during the summer.”
The first season of A knight of the seven kingdoms will consist of six episodes and is based on George R. R. Martin Tales of Dunk and Egg.
Martin previously praised the series, saying: “I visited the set in Northern Ireland in July and loved what I saw. Great cast. [The lead characters] Dunk and Egg look like they stepped out of the pages of my book. My readers will love them. I certainly do. [Showrunner Ira Parker] He’s doing a great job.”
The series follows the character Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg. 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 Throneswhen “two unlikely heroes wandered 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. It is scheduled to air at the end of 2025. Black mirror director Owen Harris will direct three of the six episodes.
The series is written and produced by Martin e Ira Parker. Executive producers include Ryan Condal, Vincenzo Gerardis, Owen HarrisAND Sarah Bradshaw.
