A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 7, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated July 7, 2025, 14:03 IST Westeros is calling us back! A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms , the next chapter in the Game of Thrones saga, is gearing up to bring George R.R. Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg to life. This prequel series, based on the beloved novellas, promises a new vibe—less dragon-fueled chaos, more heartfelt adventure. If you're as excited as I am, let's dive into the latest on when it's hitting screens, who's starring, and what we can expect from this journey through a quieter corner of the Seven Kingdoms. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Release Date So, when do we get to see A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms ? The rumor mill has been churning, and here's the latest. Early buzz pointed to a possible late 2025 debut, maybe even summer. But HBO's dropped some fresh hints that have shifted the timeline. At Warner Bros. Discovery's upfronts in May 2025, a teaser ended with a title card flashing 2026. Casey Bloys, HBO's big boss, doubled down, suggesting a premiere in early 2026—think January or February. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Cast Updates The heart of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is the unlikely duo of Ser Duncan the Tall, a big-hearted hedge knight, and his squire Egg, who's secretly Prince Aegon V Targaryen. The cast is a mix of fresh talent and familiar faces, and I'm stoked about who they've picked to bring these characters to life. Here's the rundown: Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg (Prince Aegon V Targaryen) Finn Bennett as Prince Aerion 'Brightflame' Targaryen Bertie Carvel as Prince Baelor 'Breakspear' Targaryen Tanzyn Crawford as Tanselle Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonel Baratheon Sam Spruell as Prince Maekar Targaryen More Faces: HBO dropped more names in August 2024, including Edward Ashley (Ser Steffon Fossoway), Henry Ashton (Daaeron Targaryen), Youssef Kerkour (Steely Pate), Daniel Monks (Ser Manfred Dondarrion), Shaun Thomas (Raymun Fossoway), Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (Plummer), and Danny Webb (Ser Arlan of Pennytree, Dunk's mentor). Martin's been raving about this cast, and honestly, I can't wait to see them in action. With filming done, we might hear about a few more additions soon. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Plot Details Set about 90 years before Game of Thrones and 72 years after House of the Dragon , A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes us to a Westeros still ruled by the Targaryens, where the memory of dragons lingers but the skies are clear. The first season adapts The Hedge Knight , the first of Martin's three Dunk and Egg novellas. It's all about Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg wandering the realm, getting tangled in knightly tournaments, political schemes, and tests of honor. This isn't the sprawling epic of Game of Thrones or the fiery family feuds of House of the Dragon . Martin calls it a 'character piece,' zooming in on Dunk's earnest quest to be a true knight and Egg's journey as a hidden prince learning about the world. A big highlight? The tournament at Ashford Meadow, where Dunk's courage and Egg's secret identity spark some serious drama. Think less 'dragon battles' and more 'heartfelt bromance with swords.' HBO's official pitch sums it up: 'A century before 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, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits await these improbable and incomparable friends.' With six episodes in Season 1, directed by Owen Harris ( Black Mirror ) and Sarah Adina Smith ( Lessons in Chemistry ), and written by Martin and Ira Parker, the show's got a tight, focused feel. HBO's planning for three seasons, each tackling one novella ( The Hedge Knight , The Sworn Sword , The Mystery Knight ), and Martin's hinted at writing more stories, so we could see Dunk and Egg's adventures continue.

Joe Biden Diagnosed With ‘Aggressive Form' of Prostate Cancer
Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed Friday with prostate cancer, CNN reports. The 'aggressive form' of the disease has spread to his bones, according to a statement issued from Biden's personal office Sunday.

On July 21, amid growing public concerns about his age, health and mental fitness, Biden made it clear that he had pulled out of the 2024 presidential election and would not seek reelection that November. He then endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. The announcement came several weeks after his disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump, who would go on to win the election and become the 47th president of the United States. Biden's poor performance during the televised debate led to widespread calls for him to withdraw. 'Nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy, and that includes personal ambition,' he said in an Oval Office address to the nation after withdrawing from the race.
