Game of Thrones fans 'demand to riot' after major update on spin-off series
Game of Thrones fans have been left furious after an update was given about a new spin-off series. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, based on George RR Martin's The Tales of Dunk and Egg, is set to be released on HBO next year. The stories follow Dunk – aka Ser Duncan the Tall, the future Lord Commander of the Kingsguard – and Egg, the future king Aegon V Targaryen. Based around 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones, but 100 years after House of the Dragon, the new project has left fans eagerly awaiting its arrival. However, following a recent update that the first series will feature six episodes that are 30-35 minutes long, it's fair to say that people have been left disappointed. Taking to Reddit, balthazar_edison questioned: 'How does it take this long to make 6 half hours episodes?' Xsearleyx added: '6 half hour episodes is absolutely pathetic. What's the point, just make if a movie.' DisMeDog also complained: 'A full year from now we will get three total hours of a tv show then we need to wait a couple years for another possible three hours? I genuinely hate the way content is released these days.' Fans were, however, happy to hear that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been renewed for season two and three at HBO before the first season has even aired. Currently there are seven Game of Thrones spin-off series in various stages of development, consisting of three live-action and four animated projects. These include: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms The Golden Empire – live-action series The Sea Snake (Nine Voyages) – animation The Blackfyre Rebellions – in development Untitled Targaryen-Line Series – in development According to Redanian Intelligence, the first season is said to be arriving in 2026 while the second season is being written 'as we speak'. @JimmyCVAMC wrote on X: 'Absolutely cannot wait for this show.' @Illbe_your_moon also said: 'Getting two more seasons before even airing… That's huge confidence, and even bigger expectations!' Meanwhile, @SirTopiano argued: 'Early renewals signal confidence that Westeros' next saga will capture imaginations again.' More Trending Peter Claffey has been cast as Dunk in the series, which has been filmed in Ireland, while Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, Tanzyn Crawford, Daniel Ings and Sam Spruell are also in the cast. An official synposis reads: '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.'

"Game of Thrones" Spinoff "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" Shifts Premiere Window
Yara Sameh 'Game of Thrones' fans will have to wait a while longer to head back to Westeros, as the premiere of the new spinoff series 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' has now been slated for 2026. While no official premiere date was ever set, Warner Bros. Discovery execs had previously said that the series, the second HBO prequel to 'Game of Thrones' following 'House of the Dragon,' would air by the end of 2025. On Wednesday, the news of the show's push to 2026 was revealed via a first look at the 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' trailer that was shown during WBD's upfront presentation to advertisers at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The title card at the end of the footage said '2026,' but HBO content chairman and CEO Casey Bloys narrowed that down further on stage by saying the show was coming in the 'winter' when he cued up the teaser, indicating an early 2026 release. HBO has not announced a premiere window for the third season of 'House of the Dragon,' which is currently in production and has been confirmed as the penultimate in a four-season run. 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' is adapted from George R.R. Martin's novella 'The Hedge Knight,' and will follow the exploits of the knight Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his young squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), roughly 100 years before the events of 'Game of Thrones' and 100 years after the events of 'House of the Dragon.' Dunk and Egg's journey will take them to a competition in which they encounter several members of the Targaryen dynasty — including Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett), Prince Baelor Targaryen (Bertie Carvel) and Prince Maekar Targaryen (Sam Spruell) — along with another knight known as the Laughing Storm, Ser Lyonel Baratheon (Daniel Ings), and a puppeteer named Tanselle (Tanzyn Crawford). The full logline for the series reads: '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.' 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' is written and executive produced by Martin and Ira Parker ('The Sympathizer,' 'House of the Dragon'). Ryan Condal (the showrunner and co-creator of HBO's 'House of the Dragon'), Vince Gerardis, Owen Harris, and Sarah Bradshaw are executive producing. Sarah Adina Smith ('Lessons In Chemistry,' 'Hanna') will direct three of the six episodes for Season 1; executive producer Harris will direct the other three episodes. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War
