Warning: The following contains minor spoilers from George R.R. Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novels

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is the latest spinoff of George R.R. Martin's beloved world that promises to be closer in style to what made Game of Thrones special in its prime: excellent storytelling and fascinating characters. With fewer special effects and a sharper focus on character development, this show might deliver exactly what Game of Thrones fans have been missing in House of the Dragon.

Martin visited the sets during filming and couldn't contain his enthusiasm. He raved about the performances and how faithfully the showrunners stayed true to his novella. He expressed particular delight in seeing these two protagonists — characters very close to his heart — brought to life with such care and authenticity. Below is a guide to the most important characters and their roles in...

The Game of Thrones extended universe is continuing to expand, as George R.R. Martin just gave a major update on the franchise's newest show. As well as Season 3 of House of the Dragon and several other new spin-offs currently in development, HBO is also working on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which adapts one of Martin's smaller stories set in Westeros. Season 1 of the new series, which stars Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall, a.k.a. Dunk is set to premiere sometime this year. But, HBO apparently has a lot of confidence in the latest series having a long future.

During an interview with Collider, George R.R. Martin took more time away from writing The Winds of Winter to promote A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. "I've seen Dunk and Egg, the first season, and it's great," Martin began. The new show is set around 90 years before Game of Thrones,...

Here’s the film’s synopsis: “A young father is devastated by the sudden and unexpected death of his wife. Left with two sons, his sense of reality gradually slips as he is haunted by a seemingly malign presence in the apartment he shares with his children.”

The movie also stars Richard Boxall, Henry Boxall, Sam Spruell and Vinette Robinson. Dylan Southern is the director, and he accompanied Benedict at the event.

“Uncertainty and emotional vulnerability are not top of the agenda of the alpha male or the strong man image of what masculinity is, so I’m very happy to be part of storytelling that goes in the opposite direction of that,...

Benedict Cumberbatch and writer-director Dylan Southern arrived in Berlin for the European bow of their family drama The Thing With Feathers, which recently had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

Cumberbatch talked about how he sees grief and despair differently in his life, producing under his SunnyMarch label and also showered praise on the two young child actors that he worked with on The Thing With Feathers.

The Thing With Feathers follows a young father (played by Cumberbatch) who is devastated by the sudden and unexpected death of his wife. Left with two sons, his sense of reality gradually slips as he is haunted by a seemingly malign presence in the apartment he shares with his children.

Game of Thrones might have ended on a disappointing note, but there is still a lot of hope for the universe HBO is trying to create around the fantasy epic series. Based on George R.R. Martin‘s books, HBO has greenlighted and even canceled many spin-offs and prequels to Game of Thrones, but in this list, we are only talking about the shows and movies that have been confirmed to come out.

Based on Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg stories, the upcoming series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, will be the second Game of Thrones spin-off series. It revolves around Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg (Egg is actually Aegon V Targaryen), as they travel through Westeros and go on various lighthearted adventures.

Updated with the Latest: Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin has seen all six episodes of the show’s prequel series, originally titled The Hedge Knight, and he approves of the adaptation.

“I’ve seen all six episodes now, and I loved them,” Martin wrote on his personal blog. “Dunk and Egg have always been favorites of mine, and the actors we found to portray them are just incredible.”

First-look footage has been released for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms alongside HBO’s upcoming slate of shows such as The Last of Us, The White Lotus and And Just Like That.

In April 2023, HBO announced it had ordered the show, tentatively titled A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight. Ordered to series in April 2023, the prequel is based on novellas written by George R.R. Martin. During the Warner Bros. Discovery February,...

Attention, citizens of Westeros: George R.R. Martin is already lavishing praise on HBO’s new Game of Thrones spinoff.

The Thrones book author took to his personal blog on Tuesday to offer a tantalizing look ahead at A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the new spinoff coming to HBO later this year. Martin has seen all six episodes, he reports, including rough cuts of the final two, and “I love them.” He adds that “Dunk and Egg have always been favorites of mine, and the actors we found to portray them are just incredible. The rest of the cast are terrific as well.

Benedict Cumberbatch was the toast of the town at Sundance during the Variety Cover Party presented by United Airlines. The actor, who graced the cover of Variety‘s 2025 Sundance issue, was honored at the event for his dramatic turn as a grieving father in “The Thing With the Feathers.” The party was held shortly before the movie’s world premiere screening at Sundance.

Variety’s co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh gave opening remarks and invited guests in attendance to donate to L.A. wildfire relief efforts, as Los Angeles is one of Variety and the film industry’s home bases. Cumberbatch said “We do have to stand tall as an industry and help those in need” and pointed to the Qr codes United and Variety provided to charities that are helping with the relief efforts and to those impacted by the wildfires.

“Variety‘s Sundance issue is one of our biggest issues of the year,...

Crows rustle in Dylan Southern’s fiction feature debut, the haunting story of a middle-aged man coming to terms with the sudden and unexpected death of his wife, the mother of his two boys. In terms of genre, it’s hard to place, sitting somewhere between social drama and heightened horror; if Ken Loach dreamed up The Babadook, it might look something like this. Southern — previously known for such heady, experiential and you-are-there music docs as Shut Up and Play the Hits (2012) and Meet Me in the Bathroom (2022) — brings the visceral immediacy of those films to a very raw and emotional subject matter. For all the artistry behind it, however, The Thing with Feathers will likely prove divisive; for survivors of trauma, it will likely be cathartic, but for others more fortunate, its pitch-perfect portrayal of loss might be a touch too uncomfortable.

Day 3 of the Sundance Film Festival continues with premiering films today, from writer Hailey Gates’ directorial debut, Atropia, to James Griffiths’ The Ballad of Wallis Island.

One of the best aspects of the Sundance Film Festival is its Midnight Section, which typically brings a variety of horror films that are ready and waiting to make us jump or curl away from the screen in disconcertment. In 2024, Steven Soderbergh’s Presence, a uniquely told ghost story, surprised and awed, while Infinity Pool disgusted and disturbed. This year’s Sundance Film Festival has plenty of new and exciting horror offerings that are sure to have audiences talking.

When it comes to horror, festival movies are inventive, taking the genre to places we have never been to before. That was the case with last year’s I Saw the TV Glow, which managed to maintain interest long after its Sundance debut. We can never have too much horror, as it’s a genre with plenty to say and where creativity can truly soar. Sundance’s 2025 lineup looks to be...

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets may not be the most well-known movie, but the Valerian cast is certainly stacked with A-list talent. Based on the French science fiction comic series Valérian and Laureline and released in 2017, the movie takes place in the 28th century and centers on two operatives, Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are tasked with traveling to the peaceful Alpha, the City of a Thousand Planets, to complete a mission. However, when an unknown force threatens the future of the entire universe, Valerian and Laureline must race against time to stop them.

Valerian had a hefty budget of over $177 million (via Box Office Mojo) and has the distinction of being both the most expensive independent movie and European movie ever made. Unfortunately, Valerian failed to make a splash at the box office, grossing just over $225 million worldwide,...

Known for redefining the action genre with his distinctive style, Luc Besson boasts a résumé that includes movies like The Fifth Element and Léon: The Professional. The renowned French director took his sweet time in the 1990s to build a reputation for himself with his visually striking, genre-defying movies. However, the director’s ambition took a wild turn with his 2017 sci-fi epic, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, which is set to arrive on Max on January 17, 2025.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is a sprawling, idiosyncratic adventure of sorts. It follows the exploits of Valerian and Laureline, a pair of United Human Federation soldiers in the 28th century who are tasked with maintaining order throughout the human territories. However, when danger looms overhead, Valerian and Laureline must race against time to protect the City of a Thousand Planets and the fate of the universe.

The best Anna Kendrick movies feature a strong mix of romantic dramas and comedies and some fantasy and thriller films along the way. Kendrick first rose to prominence with a supporting part in The Twilight Saga and, since then, has grown into one of the most prominent actors in Hollywood. She has led a franchise, been nominated for an Academy Award, and lent her voice to some beloved animated characters.

Kendrick has such a versatile filmography that her movies vary pretty heavily in quality, with some being honored during the awards season and others mostly remaining in comfort food guilty pleasure cinema. However, one of the key things about her film releases is that she is often one of the best things in them, delivering great performances every time she appears on the big or small screen, elevating anything she appears in.

Few things can challenge fans of George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" franchise quite like the Targaryen family tree — and for good reason. As depicted in his books and the HBO shows "Game of Thrones" and "House of the Dragon," the Targaryen clan were once sprawling and powerful. However, their penchant for incest and a civil war between the Targaryen factions led to them being almost entirely wiped out by the events of "Game of Thrones." While there are enough fierce, dragon-riding Targaryens around in "House of the Dragon" that it's a struggle to keep our Aegons straight, there are only a couple of Targaryens left two centuries later when Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) hatches three dragon eggs and brings dragons back for the first time since the civil war.

There's one Targaryen who got to see not only the fall of the Targaryen dynasty...

Best episodes lists often tend to be dominated, these days, by the flashy, format-breaking standalone installments that most great prestige programs seem to unveil once or twice per season.

Our list does, indeed, include a couple of those. We’ve got flashbacks, tonal detours and feature-length episodes that reframe everything we thought we understood about the season or the shows themselves. But we also have some a couple of premieres, a finale or two and just some darned good regular episodes representing the best that the shows have to offer, rather than trying out something new or different. We’ve got animation, documentary and foreign television, plus some comedies, some dramas and whatever The Bear is.

Please note that no matter what the headline here says, this isn’t precisely a “best episodes” list at all. If a show made either of our respective Top 10 lists, we deemed it ineligible...

Game of Thrones Spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ To Release In 2025? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

HBO is bringing back Winter again, and they’re here to quench our Westeros thirst with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight. This Game of Thrones prequel will explore the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his sassy sidekick, young Prince Aegon ‘Egg’ Targaryen. This would be another story that will take us on a journey of battles. Based on George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg, this show will take us a century before Game of Thrones.

What Is The Release Window Of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?

Good news, Game of Thrones fans! According to Business Insider, HBO has locked the release window for A Knight in the Seven Kingdom in 2025. But whether it’s summer or late 2025 is still up in the air. While...

The past few years have seen an increase in the quality and volume of fantasy TV shows, and the 2025 lineup makes it seem like this trend is continuing. Not only are long-running series returning for another installment, but new shows are premiering in the coming year, making for a diverse and compelling fantasy landscape on TV. Each series that's coming out with a new season in 2025 will present new ideas and exciting storylines that will capture the audiences' imagination. Part of the appeal of speculative fiction is that the world-building and magic systems make almost any plot possible.

While some fantasy TV shows are ending in 2025, others are just getting started. Many of these projects are based on written work, with some of the most famous high fantasy series being brought to life next year. However, just as many are original narratives that have evolved over the years, surprising audiences at every turn.

In Dune: Prophecy Episode 3, "Sisterhood Above All," we hear the name Vorian Atreides again. Uncle Evgeny Harkonnen (Mark Addy) mentions his return, sparking young Valya's (Jessica Barden) desire for revenge against the man who took everything from House Harkonnen. As if that weren't enough, her brother, Griffin (Earl Cave), later dies at Vorian's hands, too. In Episode 2, "Two Wolves," rebel leader Horace (Sam Spruell) also mentions Vorian to Keiran Atreides (Chris Mason), but as a war hero. So who is this man, really?...

Warner Bro. Discovery reveals the release window for the upcoming Game of Thrones spinoff series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Set a century before a deserter was beheaded by Ned Stark for running south, the prequel series follows two unlikely heroes as they travel around Westeros. Adapted from George R.R. Martin's novella The Hedge Knight, the series stars Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall and Dexter Sol Ansell as Prince Aegon "Egg" Targaryen.

During Wells Fargo's tech and media conference, Warner Bros. Discovery global streaming chief Jr Perrette revealed the planned release window for the prequel series, according to Variety. Perrette teased that fans can expect A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to arrive in the summer of 2025. However, Variety learned that the series is more likely to come in late 2025.

George R.R. Martin is teasing a project with Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams.

The author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the fantasy novel that inspired the HBO drama series created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, hinted he was working with Williams on something.

“We also got together with Maisie Williams for pizza and pasta, and talked about — well, no, better not get into that, do not want to jinx it,” Martin wrote in his blog as he recounted his travels in London. “But it could be so much fun.”

Martin didn’t specify what the project with Williams was about or whether it involved a Game of Thrones sequel. Williams played Arya Stark throughout the show’s eight-season run on HBO.

HBO head Casey Bloys commented earlier in the day on how it to work with Martin on the multiple projects set in the Game of Thrones universe.

So, let’s dive in and take a look at what we know about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

The series will be based on multiple stories and novellas.

George R.R. Martin has nothing but praise for the upcoming Game of Thrones spin-off series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, saying that book readers will love it. Martin is the author behind the seminal A Song of Ice & Fire series, as well as several spin-off books, including Fire & Blood (which was adapted into House of the Dragon) and more. The next Game of Thrones spin-off series in the pipeline is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which is based on a series of novellas written by Martin, following Dunk and Egg (that's their real names). House of the Dragon's second season received heavy criticism from fans for making several changes to the events of the novel, but Martin assures his readers that they will be pleased with the latest spin-off show.

Alas, the end of 2024 is drawing closer, and another Game of Thrones spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, waits in the wings of 2025.

This particular prequel is an exciting prospect for the keen and savvy book readers out there.

There are three books in the Dunk and Egg series (the nicknames given to two of the story’s primary characters), and their story is set some hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones.

In fact, Dunk (short for Duncan) interacted with one of the characters every Game of Thrones viewer is familiar with.

“Fargo” exec producer Noah Hawley is currently busy at work on the new series “Alien: Earth” for FX. But if he had time, the show he’d really like to work on is “True Detective.”

“Oh my God. Let’s do it,” said “True Detective: Night Country” exec producer Issa Lopez. Added Hawley: “I would only do it with you.”

Hawley, Lopez and “Lessons in Chemistry” exec producer Lee Eisenberg sat down recently with Variety’s Virtual FYC Fest: The Nominees to discuss their Emmy nods in limited or anthology series — and found some interesting connections between their shows.

“What I loved about what Issa did was to take this sort of magic realism and really expand that idea that was always present in ‘True Detective,’ the extreme location and creating a mystery that is both literal and metaphorical,” Hawley said. “I think that’s always really interesting.

HBO is continuing to grow their “Game of Thrones” franchise and “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is the next series to land.

If the wait time for “House of the Dragon” Season 3 feels atrocious, at least it might be softened by knowing that 2025 will bring a whole new story set in Westeros to TV. “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is based on a series of novellas written by George R.R. Martin and set around 90 years before the events of “A Song of Ice and Fire.”

Henry Ashton is taking on the role, which has been mentioned but not seen in House of the Dragon on HBO.

The new additions will join the previously revealed cast of Peter Claffey, Dexter Sol, Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, Tanzyn Crawford, Daniel Ings, and Sam Spruell. These two Game of Thrones prequel series are set 100 years apart, so viewers will likely see different people and characters in the timeline.

“There’s an ambition in ‘Fargo’ in balancing story, theme, character, entertainment and action,” states creator and showrunner Noah Hawley. In our recent webchat he adds, “If you entertain people, they give you permission to do more with theme or character, to do something that seems elevated.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

“Fargo” is the FX anthology series created by Hawley, inspired by the 1996 Joel and Ethan Coen film. Each season takes a darkly comedic look at characters dealing with life and crime in the Midwest.

La trama nos transporta un siglo antes de los acontecimientos de Juego de tronos, presentándonos a dos héroes improbables que recorren Poniente: Ser Duncan el Alto (Peter Claffey), un joven caballero valiente pero ingenuo, y su astuto y diminuto escudero, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell). Ambientada en una época en la que el linaje Targaryen aún ostenta el Trono de Hierro y el recuerdo del último dragón aún no ha desaparecido de la memoria viva, grandes destinos, poderosos enemigos y peligrosas hazañas aguardan a estos improbables e incomparables amigos.

HBO’s fantasy show, Game of Thrones, has undoubtedly left its footprint on the industry and we are not expecting it to leave anytime soon. The show, which ended in 2019 still holds much influence on its fans with the stories of Westeros, dragons, Iron Throne, and a lot of Houses. As its prequel series, House of the Dragon has already aired the first season, instantly getting renewed for another season which is airing currently, the original show may never stop working on releasing the stories of the different eras regarding Westeros’ history. Thanks to the rich detailing of the story, several other projects are under-development or in talks to further explore stories from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. Let’s talk about the spinoffs that will take the viewers to a deeper history of Westeros and beyond.

Once again, the Emmy Awards nominations don’t include a slew of TV favorites. Among the most notable snubs: Emma Stone for Best Drama Actress and a complete shutout of her Showtime series “The Curse.” Equally surprising was “Shogun” supporting actresses Moeka Hoshi and Fumi Nikaido missing the ballot. On the comedy side, Netflix’s “The Gentlemen” missed for Comedy Series and a forecasted bid for its star Theo James. And although “The Bear” had a solid morning overall, Abby Elliott wasn’t able to ride the wave of fortune in Best Comedy Supporting Actress. Oliver Platt and Matty Matheson were also snubbed on the Supporting Actor side.

Below, we enumerate the top 50 Emmys snubs in our estimation. These were the shows and performers that we thought had a strong chance to number among this year’s nominees. Let us know if there are others missing from this list that...

Filmmaking duo Joe Williams and Charlie Edwards-Moss’ latest short film O, Glory! is a thrilling folk horror that pays homage to the iconic films of the 70s that founded the horror sub-genre whilst also ushering in the co-directors’ modern sensibility to the formula. The story follows a psychiatric doctor who visits an isolated house when he learns of a potential patient by the name of Deborah, whose brother believes she is beginning to lose her mind. What then unfolds is a story of hysteria, hallucinatory paranoia and twists that keep you on your toes through a palpably tense atmosphere and genuine moments of terror. Dn invited Williams and Edwards-Moss to join us for a chat about their filmmaking trajectory as creative partners, the era of filmmaking they drew influence from, and the artistic decision to capture everything on the scratchy, tactility of the 35mm film.

O, Glory! feels like a meeting of past and present,...

“The Bear” will overwhelmingly dominate the Emmy nominations when they’re announced on Wednesday morning, July 17. That’s according to the combined predictions of more than 3,300 Gold Derby users who have placed their bets here in our predictions center. Scroll down for our complete predictions in 25 top categories listed by program. Our projected winners are highlighted in gold.

FX’s dramedy about the staff at a struggling Chicago restaurant is expected to pick up an astronomical 16 nominations across seven comedy categories. Of those we’re expecting it to win Best Comedy Series, Best Comedy Actor (Jeremy Allen White), Best Comedy Supporting Actor (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Best Comedy Guest Actress (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Best Comedy Guest Actor (Jon Bernthal). Those 16 predicted noms exceed the 13 that the show received last year, and that doesn’t even include fields like writing, directing, casting, editing and much more.

Another FX program, the historical drama “Shogun,...

Although 2023 Emmy nominations voters were able to view the entire second season of “The Bear” while judging the merits of its first, the team behind the FX series did not employ a similar strategy in 2024. Nonetheless, the newly released third season will still influence TV academy members as they spend part of August deciding whether season two is worthy of any wins. The latest episodes have already impacted the mindsets of Gold Derby’s 2024 Emmy predictors, who have collectively boosted its odds in several categories over the past week.

As has been the case since this Emmys season began, “The Bear” currently holds over 80% of the Best Comedy Series win votes in our predictions center. Even now that our number of participating readers exceeds 3,000, none of this category’s other candidates have managed to crack 10%. “The Bear” is also expected to dominate five of the six comedy acting races,...

TV spin-off "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" by G.R.R. Martin airs in 2025, giving insight to the Targaryen's past. The show focuses on characters Dunk and Egg, with Peter Claffey portraying Dunk and Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg. The cast includes Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen, Sam Spruell as Maekar Targaryen, Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen, Tanzyn Crawford as Tanselle, and Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonel Baratheon.

Poised for an HBO and Max release in 2025, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight marks the latest Game of Thrones TV spin-off. The six-part series created by revered author G.R.R. Martin will serve as a prequel to the events depicted in Game of Thrones, giving fans a fascinating glimpse into the Targaryen's past. Adapted from Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novella series, the story takes place roughly 90 years before the events portrayed in A Song of Ice and Fire.

One Game of Thrones prequel series has returned for its second season, as another, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has started production. The new HBO series, inspired by George R. R. Martin’s The Hedge Knight novella, is set a century before the events seen in Game of Thrones.

Five have joined the show's cast. Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, Tanzyn Crawford, Daniel Ings, and Sam Spruell are joining the previously cast Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is introducing new characters like Maester Aemon, bringing fresh perspectives to familiar faces. The show will explore Maester Aemon as a child for the first time, shedding light on his early years and relationship with Egg. The casting announcement for Aemon is highly anticipated, along with potential changes to Maekar's sons and their dynamics.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight has begun to announce their cast of characters, but I am still waiting for one character to be recast in this next Game of Thrones show. Production has announced several characters, including the show's two lead stars, Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan The Tall (Dunk) and Dexter Sol Ansell as Aegon Targaryen (Egg). Other notable characters that the show has announced include Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen (Aeron Brightflame), Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen (Baelor Breakspear), Tanzyn Crawford as Tanselle, Daniel Ings as Lyonel Baratheon,...
