HBO announces new Game of Thrones prequel: ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight’
Tis the age of spinoffs! With every other show getting a spinoff of its own, how can Game of Thrones lag behind? Once hailed as the greatest TV show of the 21st century, George R. R. Martin’s fantasy series was the cash cow for HBO for nearly a decade, but they don’t want that story to be over just yet. House of The Dragon was the first of many spinoffs currently in development at HBO, and one more has been revealed after the recent merger event of the new streaming platform, Max.

Just days after news leaked about a spinoff currently under development about Aegon’s Conquest, HBO decided to cash in on the buzz by announcing another prequel; this time officially. During Warner Bros. Discovery presentation to the press and investors on April 12, it was announced that the Game of Thrones prequel based on George R.R. Martin’s “Dunk and Egg” books is officially moving forward at HBO.
What is ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight’ about?
The new Game of Thrones prequel is based on Martin’s “Dunk and Egg” novel series. The Hedge Knight is the first book of that series, and follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall, known as Dunk, and his squire, Aegon V Targaryen, nicknamed Egg. The series takes place some 90 years before the events of the Song of Ice and Fire novels. It begins with the death of a nomadic hedge knight, Ser Arlan of Pennytree. Dunk takes up his armor, equipment, three horses, and the remaining money to win more gold at the town of Ashford. On his journey, Dunk finds a young boy, Egg, and takes him on as his own squire, unaware that Egg is actually a prince of the realm.
