Streaming details of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ new episode
Episode 5 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will premiere in India on February 16, 2026, at 8:30 am IST, releasing simultaneously with its US broadcast so Indian fans can watch the episode at the same time as global audiences. The Indian audience can watch it on JioHotstar.
The series serves as a prequel to Game of Thrones and is adapted from George R. R. Martin’s beloved Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas. Set nearly a century before the events of Game of Thrones, the show explores a time when the Targaryens still rule the Iron Throne, though their dragons are long gone. New episodes air weekly on HBO and stream simultaneously on HBO Max, with the season finale scheduled for February 22.
Episode 4 ended on a tense note, with Ser Duncan the Tall (played by Peter Claffey) preparing to face Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett) in a Trial of Seven. The ancient ritual requires the accused to fight alongside six chosen allies against the accuser and his six champions, leaving the final judgment to the Seven Gods. Dunk finds himself in this deadly situation after striking Aerion for injuring Tanselle, a puppeteer he has grown fond of.
As Dunk struggles to gather enough allies, betrayal and uncertainty surround him. Just when hope seems lost, Prince Baelor Targaryen makes a dramatic move by stepping forward to fight on Dunk’s side. His decision shifts the balance of power and sets the stage for what promises to be a gripping penultimate episode. Much like iconic episodes such as “Battle of the Bastards” from Game of Thrones, fans are expecting an emotionally charged and action-packed hour.
Cast, Setting and What to ExpectThe series stars Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan “Dunk” the Tall, alongside Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg. Finn Bennett portrays the volatile Prince Aerion Targaryen, while Bertie Carvel appears as Baelor Targaryen. The ensemble cast also includes Daniel Ings, Sam Spruell and several others.
Co-creator and showrunner Ira Parker previously explained that the story takes place in a transitional period, between the height of Targaryen power and their eventual downfall. Unlike other entries in the franchise, this era does not feature dragons soaring through the skies. Instead, it focuses on political tension, personal honour and the fragile state of a dynasty slowly losing its grip.With Episode 5 set to deliver a decisive confrontation, viewers can expect high drama, emotional twists and a battle that could reshape the fate of its central characters. The countdown has already started.
