According to reporting by Variety, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will feature Edward Ashley as Ser Steffon Fossoway, Henry Ashton as Daeron Targaryen, Youssef Kerkour as Steely Pete, Daniel Monks as Ser Manfred Donadrrion, Shaun Thomas as Raymun Fossoway, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor as Plummer and Danny Webb as Ser Arlan of Pennytree.
The new stars join the cast, which includes Peter Claffey, Dexter Sol Ansell, Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, Tanzyn Crawford, Daniel Ings and Sam Spruell.
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 (Claffey) and his young squire, Egg (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).”
Season 1 of the show is comprised of six episodes. A premiere date has not been revealed yet, but we’ll update you as we learn more.
Another Game of Thrones prequel series is also in the works.
