Since premiering in November 2025, HBO's "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" has become a worthy addition to the larger Westeros Universe, with its recent fourth episode being dubbed by us here at Tom's Guide as "the best show episode of the year so far."
The six-episode streaming series is, thus far, a lovingly faithful screen adaptation of George R. R. Martin's "The Tales of Dunk and Egg" novellas, which follow the odd-couple duo of lowborn hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall (played by Peter Claffey in the show) and his diminutive squire Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) — better known by "A Song of Ice and Fire" fans as Aegon V Targaryen — as they traverse Westeros and encounter "great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits" along the way, per the official logline.
