HBO Max's upcoming prequel A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is expanding the Game of Thrones universe by drawing a direct line between one of its new central characters and fan favourite Brienne of Tarth.
The connection was highlighted during a panel at CCXP25 in Brazil, where cast members discussed the series and unveiled a new trailer. The moment added fresh context to George R.R. Martin's long-standing Westerosi lore and offered viewers a familiar emotional anchor as the franchise moves into a smaller, character-driven story.
