The streaming service HBO Max has announced a new spin-off of the successful series “Game of Thrones”. The show takes place chronologically before “Game of Thrones” and thus at a time when the Targaryen line still sits on the Iron Throne, as can be seen from a message on Instagram: “A century before “Game of Thrones” there was Ser Duncan , the big one, and his squire Egg”.
According to HBO Max, not only a pilot episode was ordered, but an entire season. “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight” is to be produced by fantasy author George RR Martin (74), among others. He authored the A Song of Ice and Fire books on which Game of Thrones is based. His novel series “Tales of Dunk and Egg” should also serve as a template for the new spin-off episodes.
With “House of the Dragon” there is already a series on the prehistory of “Game of Thrones”. A second season is currently in the works. The series focuses on House Targaryen, the ancestors of Daenerys (Emilia Clarke), who have several fire-breathing dragons and therefore rule.
