Documenting his haircut

Dexter started off the video by showing his real normal-length hair and said,

“Hi guys, just about to go and shave my hair once again for filming, I’ll see you when I’m bald.”

“Back to bald. See you in series two.”

Then the video transitions to him getting his hair shaved.

Staying true to the character

In George R.R. Martin’s Dunk & Egg novellas, the young Prince Aegon Targaryen (Egg) keeps his head shaved as part of his disguise while traveling with Ser Duncan the Tall. Dexter Sol Ansell first adopted the bald look for season 1, and he has now returned to it for season 2, which adapts The Sworn Sword.

This small but important detail shows the dedication of the young actor and the production team to staying faithful to the source material.

Season 2 update

Season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is currently filming in La Fortaleza in Gran Canaria itself, with Peter Claffey returning as the towering hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall. The series is expected to premiere in 2027. Fans have reacted warmly to the new video, with many excited to see Egg and Dunk back on the road for more adventures in Westeros.
