“A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes roamed Westeros… a young, naive but brave knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg… Set in a time when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful enemies and dangerous deeds await these unlikely and incomparable friends.”
The cast is made up Peter Claffey como Dunk/Ser Duncan the Tall, Dexter Sol Ansell like Egg, Find Bennett like Prince Aerion “Brightflame” Targaryen, Tanzyn Crawford like Tanselle, and Bertie Carvel as Prince Baelor “Brakspear” Targaryen.
And so you're not caught off guard: when this new prequel is released, you'll instantly notice a big difference from GOT y HOTD: does not have an opening title sequence.
Instead of the animation that takes us to key points of Westeros accompanied by an orchestra, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be presented with a simple title card and medieval typography between the opening action of each episode. From here you are notified: We are facing something different from what was seen in the two previous series.something more in line with the scale of the short novels on which it is based.
“It's not the sprawling Game of Thrones that we know and love; it's close and difficult,” Parker said in a statement to Deadline. “We continue to flood this field with mud, dirt and shit… the pain, the agony, the irritation, the closeness; as soon as you put on a mask, the way you breathe changes. We're going to feel every grain of it.”
Executive producers are Martin, Parker, Sarah Bradshaw, Owen Harris, Ryan Condal, and Vincent Gerardis.
