'Game of Thrones' Spinoff Series Update - 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' Starts Filming, Cast Details Revealed!
The next Game of Thrones series is now underway!
Production on the spinoff series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has started in Belfast, Ireland, Variety reports.
Five actors are joining the cast, including Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, Tanzyn Crawford, Daniel Ings and Sam Spruell.
Sarah Adina Smith will direct three of the six episodes for Season 1, while executive producer Owen Harris will direct the other three episodes.
Here’s a plot summary: adapted from George R. R. Martin’s novella The Hedge Knight, the first season “will follow the exploits of the knight Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his young squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), roughly 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones and 100 years after the events of House of the Dragon. Their journey will take them to a competition in which they encounter several members of the Targaryen dynasty — including Prince Aerion Targaryen (Bennett), Prince Baelor Targaryen (Carvel) and Prince Maekar Targaryen (Spruell) — along with another knight known as the Laughing Storm, Ser Lyonel Baratheon (Ings) and a puppeteer named Tanselle (Crawford).”
There’s another prequel series that is now also in works!
