Following the conclusion of House of the Dragon Season 2 last year, fans are eagerly anticipating the next Game of Thrones spinoff. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, based on George R.R. Martin‘s Dunk & Egg novels, wrapped up filming last year. And Martin, who visited the set not too long ago, has some more interesting details to share with the fans.
Quick read:
- A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finished filming in 2024.
- George R.R. Martin has seen all 6 episodes.
- Martin says the show is true to his written works.
George R.R. Martin has watched all episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
After the disappointment with the changes made to the storyline in House of the Dragon, George R.R. Martin seems hopeful about the next spinoff. In his recent post on his blog, Not A Blog, he wrote about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms:
“A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, for starts. It’s done. Ira and his team wrapped the first season months ago, and moved right on to post-production. I’ve seen all six episodes now (the last two in rough cuts, admittedly), and I loved them. 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. Wait until you guys meet the Laughing Storm. and Tanselle Too-Tall.”
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will not have a lot of action
Game of Thrones projects generally have a lot of fight sequences in them. But it seems like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will take a different route. Martin further writes:
“A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS is an adaptation of “The Hedge Knight,” the first of the novellas I wrote about them. It’s as faithful as adaptation as a reasonable man could hope for (and you all know how incredibly reasonable I am on that particular subject).
Viewers who are looking for action, and more action, and only action… well, this one may not satisfy you. There’s a huge fight scene here, as exciting as anyone could ask for, but there are no dragons this time around, no huge battles, no white walkers… this is a character piece, and its focus is on duty and honor, on chivalry and all it means. “
Hopefully, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will stay faithful to both Martin and the fans’ liking!
