Warner Bros. Discovery has revealed the release window for the highly anticipated Game of Thrones spinoff series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Serving as a prequel to the original series, the show will be the third entry in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire franchise. The forthcoming series is based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas. Peter Claffey stars as Ser Duncan the Tall, while Dexter Sol Ansell portrays Egg.
While attending Wells Fargo’s Media and Tech Conference, WBD’s Global Streaming Head, JB Perrette, disclosed the prequel’s expected release window. According to Variety, the show may premiere in the summer or late 2025.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be the only Game of Thrones project released in 2025, as House of the Dragon Season 3 is expected to debut in 2026. The prequel has been produced on a significantly smaller budget compared to Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, offering a more grounded feel than its predecessors. Moreover, the series will consist of only six episodes, with filming having wrapped in September.
Unlike its predecessors, the upcoming prequel seems unlikely to feature large-scale dragon battles or brutal war scenes. Instead, it appears to bring a fresh and unique perspective to the world of Westeros.
In addition to Claffey and Ansell, the cast of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms includes Finn Bennett (Prince Aerion “Brightflame” Targaryen), Bertie Carvel (Prince Baelor “Breakspear” Targaryen), Daniel Ings (Ser Lyonel Baratheon), Sam Spruell (Prince Maekar Targaryen), Henry Ashton (Prince Daeron “The Drunken” Targaryen), and more. Stay tuned for further updates.
