A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms‘ Dunk and Egg Swing Into Action in Game of Thrones Spinoff’s First Footage
Only a short section of a Max promo released Sunday focuses on Game of Thrones‘ latest spinoff, but it provides just enough room for us to meet Ser Duncan the Tall.
The strapping hedge knight introduces himself in the network’s rundown of its upcoming projects, which also includes new footage from shows like The Last of Us Season 2 (check it out here), And Just Like That… Season 3 and White Lotus Season 3.

We get a good look at both Duncan (aka “Dunk”), played by Bad Sisters‘ Peter Claffey; and his bald, young squire, Egg, played by Dexter Sol Ansell (ITV’s Emmerdale).
Per the official logline, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is “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” and “great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.”
Owen Harris, who is known for directing Black Mirror‘s “San Junipero” episode as well as episodes of Mrs. Davis, Misfits and The Twilight Zone, will helm three installments of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms‘ inaugural season.
The prequel was formally announced in April 2023. The series will be written and executive-produced by Martin and Ira Parker. Ryan Condal, who currently serves as House of the Dragon‘s showrunner, Owen Harris, Sarah Bradshaw and Vince Gerardis also will be EPs. It is slated to premiere in 2025.
