Warner Bro. Discovery reveals the release window for the upcoming Game of Thrones spinoff series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Set a century before a deserter was beheaded by Ned Stark for running south, the GoT prequel series follows two unlikely heroes as they travel around Westeros. Adapted from George R.R. Martin’s novella The Hedge Knight, the series stars Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall and Dexter Sol Ansell as Prince Aegon “Egg” Targaryen.
During Wells Fargo’s tech and media conference, Warner Bros. Discovery global streaming chief JB Perrette revealed the planned release window for the prequel series, according to Variety. Perrette teased that fans can expect A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to arrive in the summer of 2025. However, Variety learned that the series is more likely to come in late 2025.
What The Release Window Means For A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms
Game Of Thrones Is A Growing Franchise
With the epic fantasy series House of the Dragon season 3 not returning until 2026, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be able to fill up the blank space between seasons. While the exact release date isn’t a done deal, it is all but confirmed that the spinoff series will arrive in mid-to-late 2025. This is very good news for Game of Thrones fans, because if the series proves to be another success, they might not have to wait for years to return to the Seven Kingdoms.

Every Targaryen In A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms Explained
The Targaryen dynasty was in full swing by the time of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and the upcoming Game of Throne spin-off will have plenty.
The prequel series that centers around the story of two knights has a lower budget than the other two shows in the Game of Thrones franchise due to its focus on smaller conflicts and individual characters. Set in the same world as the main show, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms also reuses the same sets and character designs. Filming began in Belfast, Northern Ireland in June 2024 and wrapped in September. With post-production taking roughly a year, the series takes less time to make than House of the Dragon.
Our Take On A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms
The Series Will Revolves Around A New Duo
It’s true that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms‘ plot doesn’t involve large-scale conflicts like dragons killing dragons or five kings fighting for the same throne, but the series has its unique angle on tackling the world of Westeros. Game of Thrones has many unlikely duos that explore the dynamics of a knight and his squire (or traveling companion), and all these storylines have proven to be very intriguing.
The Hound’s journey with Arya is full of danger and growth, while Brienne of Tarth and Podrick Payne’s dynamic is comedic and frustrating. A huge portion of Game of Thrones takes place while the characters are on the road, and it certainly would be nice to tap into the unique cultures in the Seven Kingdoms and be able to explore the world’s stunning landscapes and conflicts. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will introduce the new duo, Dunk and Egg, and explore their unique dynamics with nuances, which makes the upcoming show something very exciting.
