The 'Game of Thrones' spin-off 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight', has finally got a release date, Scheduled for late 2025, the series is currently in pre-production and is expected to commence filming this year.
Originally unveiled in 2023, 'The Hedge Knight' marks the second official spin-off from the acclaimed 'Game of Thrones' franchise. While specific details were provided, the show appears to be on schedule for its highly awaited premiere.
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav provided an update, he said “[Creator and executive producer] George R.R. Martin is in pre-production for the new spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which will premiere in late 2025 on Max.”
As House of the Dragon S2 is set to premiere this summer, the scheduled release date for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms next year opens up the possibility for HBO to establish a pattern of having a ‘Thrones-related’ drama each year, provided both shows can maintain a two-year turnaround for their subsequent seasons.
He added, “Looking ahead, we’ve got one of the best lineups in the history of HBO. This next quarter, we’ll have ‘Hacks’ and ‘House of the Dragon,’ followed by DC’s ‘The Penguin’ and the new ‘Dune’ series. Then in 2025, we’ll kick off the year with the new season of ‘The White Lotus’ followed by ‘The Last of Us’ and ‘Euphoria’ just to name a few.”
About The Hedge Knight
The Hedge Knight" is adapted from Martin's beloved trilogy of Dunk and Egg novellas, which narrate the journey of "Dunk" (Ser Duncan the Tall, destined to become Lord Commander of the Kingsguard) and "Egg" (Aegon V Targaryen, future king) as they embark on adventures throughout Westeros about a century before the events depicted in the novels. Similarly, His ‘ A Song of Ice & Fire’ novels and the book ‘Fire & Blood’ have been adapted into the HBO series Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, respectively.
The description: “A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros … a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. 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, powerful foes and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.”
Set a century prior to the events of Game of Thrones, The Hedge Knight tracks the journey of two unlikely heroes across Westeros: Ser Duncan the Tall, a youthful and brave yet inexperienced knight, and Egg, his small but spirited squire.
The official synopsis describes the setting as an era where the Targaryen dynasty still reigns on the Iron Throne and the memory of the last dragon remains vivid in living memory. In this backdrop, great destinies, formidable adversaries, and perilous adventures await the unlikely yet extraordinary companions.
