What is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms about?

A century before Game of Thrones, hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his small bald squire Egg wander a Westeros still ruled by Targaryens — earning their bread at tourneys and keeping vows nobody pays them to keep. Adapted from George R.R. Martin’s Dunk & Egg novellas, the six-episode first season trades dynastic slaughter for a warmer, funnier road story, building toward a jousting tournament where one act of conscience carries the weight of a war.

Celluloid verdict: Smaller, kinder and more soulful than its franchise siblings — a winning two-hander proving Westeros doesn’t need dragons to soar, just a good knight, a sharp squire and a stubborn conscience. The cast is led by Peter Claffey, Dexter Sol Ansell, Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, Tanzyn Crawford, among others.
