A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is the HBO prequel series adapting George R.R. Martin's Dunk & Egg novellas, set 100 years before Game of Thrones. As of February 2026, Season 1 is the only one released , having premiered on January 18 and wrapping up on February 22 with six episodes based on The Hedge Knight.

Season Breakdown

The show follows a "one novella per season" format, with each season planned for six shorter episodes to keep the intimate, grounded tone unlike the sprawling Game of Thrones.

  • Season 1 : Adapts The Hedge Knight , focusing on Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg wandering Westeros. Currently airing or recently concluded, earning strong early buzz for its character-driven story.
  • Seasons 2 & 3: Already greenlit or in advanced planning. Season 2 covers The Sworn Sword , Season 3 The Mystery Knight. Filming for 2 and 3 was set to happen back-to-back post-Season 1 production.

Future Potential

George R.R. Martin provided 10-12 outlines for unpublished Dunk & Egg tales, fueling hopes for up to 12-15 seasons total—longer than Game of Thrones. This could span their full arcs, from Duncan's rise to Lord Commander of the Kingsguard to the Tragedy at Summerhall.

Showrunner Ira Parker dreams of chronicling the duo's entire lives, but it hinges on viewership. With Season 1 fresh, forums buzz about renewals: Reddit fans predict at least 5 seasons based on Martin's mapped novellas, while others eye 10+.

"I hope George keeps writing these... Ideally, he'd make 12 to 15 seasons of that span Dunk and Egg's entire lifetimes." – Ira Parker

TL;DR : Just 1 season out now (6 episodes); 2 more locked in, with potential for 10-12+ thanks to GRRM's notes.
