The world of Game of Thrones is set to expand even further — the new spinoff, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has already been renewed for a second season, even though the first hasn't even aired yet. George R. R. Martin praised the rough cut, and the creators didn’t wait for audience reactions — the story of Dunk and Egg will continue.
Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: What is the series about?
The story is set 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones. It centers around the wandering knight Dunk the Tall and his squire Aegon Targaryen (the future King Aegon V). Together, they travel across Westeros, facing challenges and forming unexpected alliances.
Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: More humor, fewer battles
Martin warned that there won't be dragons or epic battles. Unlike the dark world of Game of Thrones, this series will be lighter, more human, and full of warm humor. However, political intrigue and complex characters, which fans love about the world of Westeros, will remain central.
Why does HBO believe in the success of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?
The fact that the project was renewed even before its premiere shows a high level of trust in the story. After the success of House of the Dragon, viewers are clearly ready to explore new corners of this world. And if George Martin says the first season is "magnificent," there's reason to believe it.
The premiere of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is expected at the end of 2025 — and it seems this is just the beginning of a grand journey.
