About the prequel series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms acts as a prequel series to Game of Thrones, bringing a story that takes place around 100 years before the main show. Notably, the tale shown in this series is also 100 years after the events of House of Dragons. Ser Duncan the Tall, a.k.a. Dunk, and his squire, Egg, will showcase their valor and strength in a world full of dangers and enemies.
Members of the Targaryen dynasty, such as Prince Maekar Targaryen (Sam Spruell), Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett), and Prince Baelor Targaryen (Bertie Carvel), will be some of the characters the duo will encounter. Other vital characters include the knight Ser Lyonel Baratheon (Daniel Ings) and puppeteer Tanselle (Tanzyn Crawford).
More details are also included in the logline of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which reads:
"A century before the events of ‘Game of Thrones,’ two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve 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.”
