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.

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.

By creating a more humane world in a landscape that feels increasingly unmanageable, a story that insists on small acts of goodness is almost radical.

If you love and miss this seven-kingdomed world, Dunk and Egg make excellent companions for the return.

. Dexter Sol Ansell is a breath of fresh air as the nimble, vociferous tiny tornado of energy who looks monsters in the eye and calls their bluff.

It was such a nice change of pace from what GoT became and what House of the Dragon is. Just a short one and done series, one set of characters, one storyline.

A faithful adaptation that deserves all the praise, please don’t ruin it like the wierdos who did house of the dragon (they literally put mom son incest in season 3 for absolutely no reason)

Writing is fantastic. Acting is fantastic. Story is great. Setting is great. Show is great.

Simple. Perfectly simple. If the target is a bit closer than its competition, it's much easier to hit a bullseye.

Exactly the kind of slower fantasy I wanted. It focuses on the characters instead of trying to outdo Game of Thrones.

Awesome return to Westeros in a smaller scale story that brings two great characters (Dunk and Egg) together for six episodes. Looking forward to season 2, don't wait too long or Egg will grow up.
