Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin has revealed some new details about HBO Max's upcoming Westeros-set spin-off in a .
The new series, which has the working title A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, was announced during Warner Bros. Discoverꦚy’s unveiling of its new Max streaming service. It will follow the adventures of a knight, known as Dunk, and his squire, known as Egg – Martin says that the main characters' names, Dunk and Egg, were never going to appear in the title as it would sound "like a sitcom".
"HBO 𒊎has given us a greenlight to film for a full season (not just a pilot), most likely of six episodes… though that is n𒆙ot set in stone, and won’t be until considerably later in the process," Martin wrote in his latest blog post. "To date I have written and published three novellas about Dunk & Egg… Our premiere season will be an adaptation of the first of the three published novellas, 'The Hedge Knight,' the tale of how Dunk & Egg first met during a tournament at Ashford Meadow. The pilot script is already written, and I think it’s terrific."
Ira Parker, who wrote 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:House of the Dragon episode 4, penned the script. "There is no date set yet for the series premiere, or even for thꦺe show to begin shooting… but t꧅he writing is well underway."
Martin went on to say that he hopes that the other two novellas will be adapted into subsequent seasons, before admitting to a classic Martin case of over-commitment. "Then comesꦬ the hard part. Before we reach the end of the published stories, I will need to find time to write all the other Dunk & Egg novellas that I have planned," he added. "There are… gulp… more of them than I had once thought."
Considering he still has another Fire & Blood book to write (AKA the ꦇsource material fo💛r House of the Dragon) and two more A Song of Ice and Fire novels to finish, we shall have to wait and see what becomes of Dunk and Egg…
