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 improbable and incomparable friends.”

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will release on January 18, 2025, on HBO Max. It will take the viewers on Duncan and Egg's adventures for a total of six episodes. Further details about the release schedule for the series will be revealed soon.
