A Second "Game Of Thrones" Prequel Is Now in Production
Game of Thrones fans, rejoice! Hot on the heels of House of the Dragon’s second season, HBO has announced another thrilling prequel, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, is officially in production. With filming underway in the picturesque landscapes of Belfast, Northern Ireland, this new series promises to deliver even more of the epic fantasy drama that fans crave.
The New Game of Thrones Series
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is based on George R. R. Martin's 1998 novella The Hedge Knight. It centers around the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg. Set a century before the events of Game of Thrones, the series promises to explore an era when the Targaryen dynasty still reigns and dragons are a recent memory, offering fans a fresh yet familiar narrative.
On Tuesday, HBO revealed a sneak peek into the show with a first photo featuring Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall. Claffey, known for his roles in the British series Wreck and the Irish series Bad Sisters, brings a unique presence to the character. The image shows him walking through a medieval village, perfectly setting the tone for the series. Fans might also recognize him from his upcoming role in Vikings: Valhalla.
