HBO Max is back in Westeros after releasing the official trailer for its new Game of Thrones prequel, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It's set to premiere on January 18, 2026, and is sure to please fans of the series.
The trailer shows the first glimpse of the story of Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk), a simple hedge knight, and his squire Egg, who is just a registered Targaryen prince. You'll see panoramic views, jousting tournaments, and the true hardships of life in Westeros, especially for those not part of the great clans.
The series' themes are more personal and light-hearted than the heavy-handed politics of previous shows. It focuses on journey, honor, and true identities of Dunk and Egg. The unique pairing of a humble knight and a naked prince will serve as the heart of the story.
The trailer proves that the world-building that fans have been looking for is still intact, as it takes us back to the Targaryen dynasty era before the wars in Game of Thrones.
