Every great world begins with small moments — a lone traveler on the road, a quiet decision that changes everything, a story told long before anyone realizes it matters. Westeros was not always ruled by dragons and brutal kings; once, it was shaped by simple acts of honor, friendship, and survival. That is where A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finds its place.

The book is being adapted into a series at HBO, and George R. R. Martin is making sure it is as elaborate as it can be and serves the audience faithfully. 

George R. R. Martin has given the Game of Thrones prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, creator Ira Parker outlines for around 10 to 12 additional Dunk and Egg stories, far beyond the three novellas published so far. Parker, speaking to The National, said the current plan is to adapt one novella per season, meaning the HBO series could run as long as — or longer than — GOT if it continues. 

“He has shared with me about 10 to 12 more little outlines for books, for novellas, taking Dunk and Egg all the way through their life,” Parker told The National.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, set in Westeros about 100 years before Game of Thrones, adapts George R. R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas and follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his young squire, Egg. The first season, which adapts The Hedge Knight, premieres on HBO on January 18, with a second season based on The Sworn Sword already in production.

Showrunner Ira Parker’s collaboration with Martin has been unusually close, according to The National. And while the Game of Thrones universe keeps on expanding, audiences are bracing themselves for the flagship franchise’s Netflix debut soon.

Watching one of the most cherished efforts of modern fantasy television on the streaming giant has been a dream of many for years, but it has gotten closer to being fulfilled now more than ever.

Talk of Game of Thrones coming to Netflix in 2026 has real backing now that Netflix is moving ahead with its acquisition of Warner Bros., the parent company of HBO. The deal, valued at nearly $83 billion, would give Netflix control of HBO’s full content library, including the IP in discussion. Once the acquisition is completed, the long-standing exclusivity keeping the series on HBO platforms would no longer apply, clearing the way for a Netflix release.

As Westeros continues to unfold in unexpected ways, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms feels like a return to the heart of the saga rather than another expansion for its own sake. With George R. R. Martin’s guiding hand, the series carries a rare sense of trust and intention. Alternatively, while a Game of Thrones Netflix arrival in 2026 remains a possibility more than a surety as of this writing, the streamer is not standing still, bolstering its lineup for the year with other offerings, ensuring its vault stays lit, no matter where the throne ultimately rests.
