HBO Max announcement: Streaming window for ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ revealed

HBO Max recently announced that the highly anticipated Game of Thrones prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, will be hitting our screens in January 2026. Exciting, right?

For those unfamiliar, this series is based on George RR Martin’s “Tales of Dunk and Egg,” with the first novella being “The Hedge Knight.” This story delves into the escapades of Ser Duncan the Tall (‘Dunk’) and the future King Aegon V Targaryen (‘Egg’) approximately 90 years ahead of the events in the famous ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ novels.

But wait, there’s more to look forward to! The other two novellas in this series are “The Sworn Sword” and “The Mystery Knight.” Get ready for some epic storytelling!

In a recent blog post, George RR Martin expressed his admiration for the show, mentioning how he had seen all six episodes and was particularly impressed with the cast. According to Martin, the adaptation stays true to the essence of the original novellas, making fans like us even more excited to watch it.

While the series will include a “huge” and “exciting” fight scene, Martin clarified that viewers shouldn’t expect dragons or grand battles similar to those in Game of Thrones. Instead, it’s all about rich characters and themes like duty, honour, and chivalry.

So, if you’re a fan of the fantasy genre and enjoy a good story full of depth and intrigue, mark your calendars for the premiere of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It’s going to be one epic adventure!
