Honour and courage are delivered on the field of combat in ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’
2026 is shaping up to be a significant year for fans of HBO, with one of the most exciting upcoming releases being A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. This series will transport audiences back to the high fantasy realm of George R.R. Martin’s Westeros, following the humble hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall (played by Peter Claffey) and his curious and boisterous squire, Egg (portrayed by Dexter Sol Ansell), as they seek glory and riches through thrilling tournaments.
Based on Martin’s acclaimed novella The Hedge Knight, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is set 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones. The story focuses on the aspiring hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg, as they embark on a journey to participate in a series of tournaments and jousts, aiming for fame and fortune.

This brand-new trailer continues from the first-look teaser we received, and for fans eager to return to Westeros, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms promises to be an absolute delight. Notably, it focuses exclusively on the world of tournaments and the knights who compete in them. The series presents a highly ambitious and courageous story of chivalry and heroism as Ser Duncan the Tall enters the tourney scene, following the journeys of two of George R.R. Martin’s most beloved characters.
The new trailer conveys a sense of excitement and energy, and audiences seeking a tale of high adventure and significant action will find it in this series. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is generating considerable anticipation, showcasing a different aspect of the lands of Westeros. The story follows the steps of Joseph Campbell’s The Hero’s Journey, which promises a dynamic and engaging viewing experience.
While the teaser trailer provided a glimpse of what to expect from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the new trailer emphasises Ser Duncan’s struggle with his sworn oath and his responsibilities as a knight. He begins to realise that concepts of honour and justice often clash with the interests of the ruling elite. His actions as a knight inevitably lead him into conflict with the volatile, vindictive, and vicious Prince Aerion “Brightflame” Targaryen (Finn Bennett). This tale of steel-on-steel combat is bound to leave only one hero standing.
Ready yourself for a tale of pure heroism and adventure when A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms debuts on Neon on January 18.
