Key Highlight
  • HBO drama series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is slated for a 2025 release
  • Author George R.R. Martin will serve as a writer and executive producer for the show

HBO's decision to extend the Game of Thrones universe is not surprising given the enormous success of the House of the Dragon. The prequel series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which is based on the prequel novellas of George R. R. Martin, will be the next spin-off in the franchise. There are all signs that The Hedge Knight will be just as successful as House of the Dragon and the original series throughout its first few seasons.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight  gets a release window

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, an HBO drama series, is scheduled for release in 2025, HBO President Casey Bloys revealed on Wednesday during Warner Bros. Discovery's upfront presentation. Bloys also revealed that the new show's production has begun.


The Hedge Knight takes place roughly halfway between the events of the first series and House of the Dragon in the timeline, taking place some 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones. This series, in contrast to the main one, which has a large cast of characters, closely follows Dunk's point of view without any breaks. The story opens with Dunk, a poor knight entering his first tournament as the underdog, and a mysterious young child named Egg following him about, pleading to be his squire.

The official logline reads, "Great destinies, formidable opponents, and perilous exploits all await in an era when the Targaryen line still rules the Iron Throne and the memory of the last dragon has not yet faded from live memory.
