Acclaimed author George R R Martin introduces a refreshing narrative within his beloved Westeros universe, with the new series 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms'. Streaming from January 19 on JioHotstar, the series is adapted from Martin's 'Tales of Dunk and Egg' novellas, showcasing adventures predating 'Game of Thrones' by 90 years.
The story follows hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall, portrayed by Peter Claffey, and squire Aegon V Targaryen, played by Dexter Sol Ansell, during a time when Targaryens still ruled Westeros, but draconic power waned. Martin notes this series as lighter and happier, diverging from the darker tones of its predecessors.
Although the series carries familiar elements of swordplay and intrigue, its fresh tone has garnered largely positive reviews. Martin emphasizes the uniqueness of Ser Duncan and Egg, characters he holds dear, marking a shift from his usual storytelling drift. The show features a diverse cast, including Danny Webb and Sam Spruell, and has already been renewed for a second season.
