"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms": Premiere Date Confirmed – New Game of Thrones Prequel Arrives in January!

"On the road to greatness, they’ll take the long way." With these words and an official release date, HBO has brought fan anticipation to a boiling point. George R.R. Martin's latest series, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," will premiere exclusively on HBO and Max on January 18, 2026.

Based on the beloved "Dunk & Egg" novellas, the series is set roughly 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones. It follows the adventures of the brave but naive hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall (played by Peter Claffey) and his diminutive squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell)—a boy with a secret destiny who will one day sit on the Iron Throne as King Aegon V Targaryen.

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 await these improbable friends.

To shorten the wait until January 18 and prepare for your return to Westeros, you can equip yourself now with the legendary blades of the Seven Kingdoms.
