The journey of Ser Duncan the Tall and his young squire Egg is about to reach its first major turning point. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is set to wrap up its debut season with Episode 6, and fans in India are bracing for an emotional finale. As a prequel to Game of Thrones, the show takes viewers back to 209 AC, nearly a century before the events of the original epic saga. Adapted from The Hedge Knight by George R. R. Martin, the series focuses on quieter politics and personal loyalties rather than dragons and large-scale wars. Streaming details of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season finale
The story revolves around Ser Duncan the Tall, played by Peter Claffey, and Egg, portrayed by Dexter Sol Ansell. Unknown to many in Westeros, Egg is actually Prince Aegon Targaryen in disguise. Their unlikely friendship has driven the narrative so far
For Indian viewers, Episode 6 will stream on February 23, 2026, at 8:30 am IST on JioHotstar.
The finale marks the conclusion of the first season, which premiered in mid-January 2026. With HBO already confirming a second season, expected in 2027, fans can be assured that Dunk and Egg’s story is far from over.Episode 6 plot
The finale promises intense drama. In Episode 6, Dunk faces an audience with Maekar Targaryen, a confrontation that appears to leave him disillusioned with royal politics. Promotional glimpses suggest that Dunk may feel he is “done with princes,” hinting at a deeper conflict brewing within him.
The emotional crux of the episode lies in his bond with Egg. The young squire, who has looked up to Dunk as both mentor and friend, seems disappointed by his knight’s stance. Whether this rift leads to separation or strengthens their relationship is expected to form the heart of the finale.
Unlike Game of Thrones, which thrived on large-scale power struggles, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has focused on personal honour, humility and everyday politics. The show has been praised for its grounded storytelling and character-driven approach.
The Breaking Bad fan war debate explained
While the finale is generating buzz for its story, the show has also found itself at the centre of an unexpected online debate. Episode 5, titled In the Name of the Mother, briefly achieved a rare 10/10 rating on IMDb, according to Forbes. For television, this is an almost unheard-of achievement.
For over a decade, the episode Ozymandias from Breaking Bad had held a near-perfect rating and was widely considered one of the greatest episodes in TV history. Directed by Rian Johnson and starring Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, it originally aired in 2013 and became a benchmark for storytelling excellence.
However, after In the Name of the Mother touched the perfect score, its rating reportedly dropped to 9.7. Some fans of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms alleged that the dip was due to coordinated negative reviews. In response, supporters allegedly targeted Ozymandias, causing its long-held 10 rating to slip to 9.9.
While IMDb ratings often fluctuate, the episode rivalry has sparked heated debates across fan forums and social media. For some, it is about protecting a legacy; for others, it is about celebrating a new milestone in television storytelling.
As Episode 6 approaches, most viewers are choosing to focus on what truly matters. Stay tuned!
