Game of Thrones Prequel Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Eyes June 2025 Premiere
Game of Thrones‘ second spinoff is targeting a 2025 debut.
Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO, HBO and Max content, announced that the Dunk and Egg prequel A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms would premiere in June 2025.
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, and Vince Gerardis also will be EPs. The release date had previously been set for “late 2025.”
“A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros,” the previously released official logline reads. “A young, naive but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall” (aka Dunk) “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.”
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be preceded by Season 2 of House of the Dragon, which is slated to premiere in Summer 2024.
In 2021, HBO and Max chief content officer Casey Bloys stressed that the Game of Thrones spinoff concepts that would move forward would be the ones that are the strongest based on several measures.
“Obviously, we know George has this incredible world with all of this really rich and complicated history and all of these characters,” he told TVLine at the time. “So we’ve been trying to be thoughtful about what are the stories that are worth telling. What would be exciting? What would fans love?” he said. “Dunk and Egg is one of those, but not the only one.”
But as of just a few months ago, the reportedly in-the-works spinoff centered on Kit Harington‘s Jon Snow was nowhere near to getting an official go-ahead from the network. “I wouldn’t say there is anything else in that world that is close to a green light or anything,” Bloys told TVLine in November.
Is the Snow one DOA?
My partner was mentioning the other day that she didn’t think it would actually happen because apparently Kit has a rep for being really annoying to work with.
I’d just love to see an opening for Arya to return.

Whats with all these Prequels! We need that Jon Snow spin off we were promised. Masie Williams wants a Arya spin off!
Fans of the books would really like the last book to be published so we can finish the story, though the TV series has now tainted that ending!
I’m not sure why anyone would downrate Karen’s comment. If you’ve read the series then of course you’d want to finish the story. Hopefully, it will be better than what we got on tv.
Maybe because it’s become tedious and tiresome to complain about how the TV series ended, and then being rather uncritical and hopeful about the book series that likely never will.
A Dance With Dragons was first published in July of 2011, and 13 years later there’s still no set date when The Winds of Winter will be released, never mind A Dream of Spring.
Regardless about how one feels about season 8 of GoT, at least Benioff and Weiss managed to finish what they started, especially considering that Martin seems to not care a whit about doing the same.
I don’t think it’s that Martin doesn’t care. I think the story has gotten away from him. A Dance of Dragons was Book 5 of 7. But Martin was still world-building. He was introducing new characters, plotlines and locations at a time when he should instead be winding things down. The books, in essence, have become too big. I believe that he’s struggling to find a way to trim the story down without saying “By the way, the Shy Maid sank and Young Griff was lost at sea. He’s dead. Forget that plot even existed.” Unfortunately that’s probably what he’s going to have to do.
Isn’t this animation? I don’t like it!

Could that title *be* any longer
