The next Game of Thrones series has been a long time coming, but this time it seems to be the right one for viewers. The project is progressing very well and the signs are encouraging.
The world of Game of Thrones expands once again with the arrival of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a brand new spin-off inspired by the work of George RR Martin. After several months of filming, production has officially wrapped and fans are now eagerly awaiting the release of the series.
A new dive into the universe of Game of Thrones
This new series takes us back to the fascinating universe of Westeros, but with a different approach. The story takes place about 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones. We follow the adventures of Ser Duncan the Great, a loyal and powerful knight, and his young squire Egg, who is none other than the future Targaryen king. This touching and epic relationship is at the heart of the plot.
Filmed primarily in Northern Ireland, the series attempts to maintain the dark, immersive aesthetic that made previous productions successful. With a first season consisting of six episodes, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms adopts a shorter format but promises to be just as intense. This more compact structure allows it to remain faithful to the original stories while offering a rhythmic narrative.
The series is scheduled to be released in mid-2025. It will be broadcast alternately with the new seasons of House of the Dragon, the other successful spin-off. This selection of programs will allow fans to immerse themselves in the Game of Thrones universe all year round. Without really any interruption.
A summary that makes you want to read
The plot focuses on the adventures of Dunk and Egg in a time when the Targaryens are still in power. Even though the memory of the last dragons is still fresh in our minds, Westeros is a land full of dangers, powerful enemies and great destinies. The duo will have to face many challenges that will test their courage and loyalty.
