A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight (2025)
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is a highly anticipated 2025 fantasy television series set in the world of Westeros, a century before the events of Game of Thrones. The story follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall, a humble hedge knight, and his young squire, Egg, as they travel across a land still ruled by the Targaryen dynasty. Though dragons have vanished from the skies, their memory lingers, and the great houses of Westeros remain powerful, ambitious, and dangerous.
Across six episodes, this series will explore the early lives of characters whose names echo in the history of Westeros. Ser Duncan, known as Dunk, stands tall both in stature and honor, while Egg is destined for a future no one yet suspects. Their journey places them amidst tourneys, rivalries, and looming conflicts, with destinies intertwined with the Targaryen royal family and the noble houses of the realm.
The series boasts a talented cast led by Finn Bennett as the fiery Prince Aerion ‘Brightflame’ Targaryen, Daniel Ings as the formidable Ser Lyonel ‘The Laughing Storm’ Baratheon, and Sam Spruell portraying the stern Prince Maekar Targaryen. Peter Claffey takes on the role of Ser Duncan the Tall, bringing to life a character beloved in the lore of George R. R. Martin’s world.
