“Meet Dunk and Egg. A sneak peek of the @HBO Original Series #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms, coming in 2025 to Max,” reads the caption of the teaser.

Adapted from George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas (The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword, and Mystery Knight), A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is slated to premiere on Max in 2025. HBO plans a three-season arc for the series set about a century before Game of Thrones. The debut season will feature six episodes.

Lessons In Chemistry director Sarah Adina Smith is set to helm three out of the six episodes for the first season, with executive producer Owen Harris directing the remaining episodes. The series is penned and executive produced by Martin and Ira Parker. Ryan Condal, Vince Gerardis, Owen Harris, and Sarah Bradshaw also serve as executive producers.

The official synopsis of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms says, “A century before the events of ‘Game of Thrones,’ two unlikely heroes roamed Westeros… a young, naïve but brave knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in a time when the Targaryen dynasty still rules the Iron Throne, and the last dragon is not yet a distant memory, these remarkable friends will face grand destinies, formidable adversaries, and perilous adventures.”
