Last night’s presentation of Max, the platform that comes to unify all Warner Bros. Discovery services (and will replace HBO Max), continues to give news and among all the series presented, the confirmation of another prequel from ‘Game of Thrones’. In the end it won’t be Aegon the Conqueror’s or Jon Snow’s… we’ll have Dunk and Egg’s adventures.
In this way, it has been his own Casey Bloys, HBO bosswho has announced that they have given a direct-to-series order to ‘The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Errant Knight‘ (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight), fiction that will adapt the series of short stories and novels starring Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg.

Of course, for the moment they have not given more details about the plot or the scope of the adaptation (if they will adapt the three short novels). So, as always, we have to turn to the sources: the work of George R. R. Martinwho is an executive producer with Ira Parker, Ryan Condal and Vince Gerardis.
Set almost a century before ‘Game of Thrones’, the story begins with a young squire, young boy from Bed of Fleas, who is a squire of Ser Arlan of the Coin Tree and who, when he died, decides to take up his mantle and succeed him as Knight Errant to compete in the Ash Ford tournament. Thus he will start a career as a knight that will take him to the very court.
