A century before the events of "Game of Thrones," two unlikely heroes wander Westeros. In an adaption of George R. R. Martin's novella "The Hedge Knight," a young and naive but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg, face a series of dangerous exploits. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and images of the last dragon have not yet passed from living memory, great destinies and powerful foes await these improbable and incomparable friends.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a welcome return to Westeros that works better in the buddy-comedy arena rather than solely slaying its competition.

Audience Says

Way more dopey than GoT, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms offers a refreshing, low stakes return to Westeros anchored by the endearing duo of Egg and Dunk.

4/5
It's a fantastic start for this latest entry in the Thrones universe, one that narrows the scope a little to focus on its two fascinating lead characters, but which still provides a grand dose of intrigue as it takes you on a fun & exciting adventure. Go to Full Review

Professor G @atreiromg 12h Fiel aos livros e impecável sem progressismo! See more Laura C @Laura99 3d It's a little story in the got universe instead of big epic drama. It's very well made, well written and the actors ooze charisma. See more Marta C @Marta78 3d It's great. It's more light-hearted than GoT, with plenty of funny moments, without holding back from the more serious things. See more Rich B @rbtesla 3d The best TV series that has come out in years! So re-watchable and the characters are so likeable. Wish there were more series like this on TV! Can't wait for season 2! See more Josefa E @Josy567 4d Finally got around to this one. This show is a perfect example of why script writing is the most important aspect of filmmaking... better than the back four seasons of GOT and the entirety of HOD... damn near flawless. See more Diego D @RT39746041 5d A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is off to a fantastic start. The cinematography is stunning, with incredible attention to detail that brings the world of Westeros to life. The performances are excellent, and the characters are immediately engaging. The backstories are well-developed, making it easy to become invested in their journeys. It captures the charm, adventure, and depth that fans of George R. R. Martin’s universe will appreciate. Highly recommended—I can’t wait to see where the story goes! See more Read all reviews
