Earlier today, HBO dropped the first official trailer for its latest Song of Ice and Fire: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/a-knight-of-the-seven-kingdoms-delayed-to-2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms<\/a>. A prequel like House Of The Dragon, though much closer in proximity to the main series, Seven Kingdoms takes place a century before the death of King Robert Baratheon, which sets the whole Game in motion. It follows Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his trusty squire Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), a little bald boy of mysterious origin, as they set about making the Tall into a full-blown star in Westeros\u2019 competitive jousting scene. What sets this one apart from House Of The Dragon, though, is that it recenters George R.R. Martin\u2019s fantasy world away from palace intrigue and more into the lives of everyday knights and squires. We shouldn\u2019t get our hopes up too high. There are plenty of Targaryans still running around being \u201cincestuous aliens.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the synopsis from HBO:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA century before the events of Game Of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros\u2026 a young, na\u00efve 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms\u2018 six-episode season begins Sunday, January 18, at 10 P.M. EST, with new episodes airing weekly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Blare the trumpets and ready the horses because another Game Of Thrones spin-off is entering the arena.
