‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ teaser trailer reveals a different kind of Westeros story

HBO Max has officially raised the curtains on the next chapter of the Westeros saga, dropping the first official teaser trailer for its upcoming series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The two-and-a-half-minute trailer immediately transports viewers back into the world created by George R.R. Martin, setting a tone of grounded, personal adventure that feels reminiscent of the original series’ early focus on character and moral conflict.

The footage centers squarely on the formidable, yet unproven, hero, Sir Duncan the Tall. The narrative quickly establishes Dunk’s core motivation: a deep-seated commitment to knighthood, honor, and defending the innocent. The trailer gives fans a glimpse of the journey that awaits, hinting at the high-stakes world of noble politics that Dunk and his companion will navigate.

What will A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms be about?

The series adapts George R.R. Martin’s trilogy of books, Tales of Dunk and Egg, The Hedge Knight (1998), The Sworn Sword (2003), and The Mystery Knight (2010), recounting the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg, better known as Dunk and Egg. The story of these two characters takes place 90 years before A Song of Ice and Fire, and 70 years after what we have seen in House of the Dragon.

The synopsis of the series reads as follows: “A century before the events of ‘Game of Thrones,’ two unlikely heroes roamed Westeros: a young and naive but brave knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his little squire, Egg. Set in a time when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and the memory of the last dragon has not yet faded from living memory, great destinies, powerful enemies and dangerous deeds await these unlikely and incomparable friends.”
