The first "Game of Thrones" prequel series — that would be "House of the Dragon," of course — will soon be returning to our screens in June (here's the full episode release schedule so you don't miss a single fiery moment.) And now there's major movement on the second spinoff series, "Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight," which just cast its two most important characters.
Based on George R. R. Martin's "The Tales of Dunk and Egg" trilogy of novellas, "The Hedge Knight," will pick up about 100 years before the events of "A Song of Fire and Ice," the fantasy book series that inspired both "Game of Thrones" and "House of the Dragon." At the center of the story, which will take place between the "HOTD" and "GOT" time periods, are two unlikely heroes wandering around Westeros: "a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg," according to the official HBO description.
