Sky has released the official trailer for the Game of Thrones prequel series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, shot in and around Belfast.
The shoot for the second season of the HBO original is already underway.
Based on Tales of Dunk and Egg, by George R. R. Martin, the six, half-hour episode season debuts on Monday, 19 January. Martin is executive producer.
A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. 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.
The series stars Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan ‘Dunk’ the Tall, Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg, Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonel Baratheon, Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen, Danny Webb as Ser Arlan of Pennytree, Sam Spruell as Maekar Targaryen and Shaun Thomas as Raymun Fossoway.
Credits: Co-Creator/Executive Producer, George R. R. Martin; Co Creator/Showrunner/Executive Producer, Ira Parker. Executive Producers Sarah Bradshaw, Owen Harris, Ryan Condal and Vince Gerardis. Directors, Owen Harris and Sarah Adina Smith.
HBO Max will launch in the UK in the Spring of 2026.
