Fantasy author George R.R. Martin has hints at a secret new project he is working on with “Game of Thrones” actress Maisie Williams, which has interested fans of the famous TV show.

Martin recently wrote on his blog that he met Williams in London over pizza and pasta, but he omitted the specifics. His writing only said, “It could be so much fun,” without explaining how they might work together.

Williams, who played Arya Stark on the eight-season HBO show, hasn’t spoken publicly about the meeting. Fans and reviewers alike loved how her character changed from the daughter of a nobleman to a skilled killer.

The possible project comes up as things are still happening in HBO’s Game of Thrones. Casey Bloys, who runs HBO’s programming, said the bond with Martin was complicated but important. Bloys said, “He’s very important to me and us.” She compared...

George R.R. Martin is teasing a project with Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams.

The author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the fantasy novel that inspired the HBO drama series created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, hinted he was working with Williams on something.

“We also got together with Maisie Williams for pizza and pasta, and talked about — well, no, better not get into that, do not want to jinx it,” Martin wrote in his blog as he recounted his travels in London. “But it could be so much fun.”

Martin didn’t specify what the project with Williams was about or whether it involved a Game of Thrones sequel. Williams played Arya Stark throughout the show’s eight-season run on HBO.

HBO head Casey Bloys commented earlier in the day on how it to work with Martin on the multiple projects set in the Game of Thrones universe.

HBO Max offered a peek at the forthcoming seasons of The White Lotus, The Last of Us, And Just Like That, and Hacks in a new trailer that aired Sunday night. The clip also teased the new Game of Thrones series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and Stephen King adaptation, It: Welcome to Derry.

The big news is the look at the third season of The White Lotus, which is set in Thailand. The trailer showcases returning cast member Natasha Rothwell along with new additions Walton Goggins, Leslie Bibb,...

It's always nice to hear about Game of Thrones veterans continuing their acting work in new projects, and today we've got a fun one. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Dexter Sol Ansell, who plays the irascible squire Egg in HBO's upcoming A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms series, has joined the cast of a new roadtrip movie called 500 Miles. The film's all about two brothers who go in search of their estranged grandfather; Ansell will play one of them, named Charlie. Also in the cast is none other than Maisie Williams, whose performance as Arya Stark made her a fan-favorite on Thrones.

What would it be like if Egg and Arya, two characters notorious for speaking their minds, crossed paths? Well, we won't get to find that out in 500 Miles, but it's still fun to think about now that we have a reason to think about it. Williams plays Kait in the film,...

Directed by Matthews from a screenplay penned by Malcolm Campbell, 500 Miles is described as a “life-affirming road movie” about runaway Finn (Roman Griffin Davis) and his livewire younger brother Charlie (Dexter Sol Ansell). The pair are on a journey over land and sea to find their estranged Grandfather (Bill Nighy) on Ireland’s West Coast.

This past summer, Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin traveled to the United Kingdom to attend the World Science Fiction Convention. He also took a three-day trip to visit the set of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a new Game of Thrones prequel show based on his Dunk & Egg novellas. He's now written about his experience on his Not a Blog, and has nothing but positive things to say!

Let's start with some brief background on Dunk & Egg: the two title characters are a very tall knight and his diminutive squire respectively, to be played on TV by Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell. They meet near Ashford in the Reach, where Dunk is entering a tourney. That adventure is recounted in 1998's The Hedge Knight, the first of the three Dunk & Egg novellas Martin has written so far and the basis for this upcoming season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,...

Exclusive: Irish actor Peter Claffey has signed with Brillstein Entertainment for management.

Claffey recently landed the lead role of “Dunk” in HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, the Game of Thrones spinoff, which is currently in production in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Claffey, a former Connacht Rugby player in Ireland, made his stage debut at Dublin’s Abbey Theatre in A Whistle in the Dark by Tom Murphy.

The actor can also be seen in Season 3 of Vikings: Valhalla and the BBC series Wreck.

Claffey is set to star opposite Cilllian Murphy in Small Things Like These, and will also appear in the upcoming season of Bad Sisters.

He is represented in Ireland, UK, & Europe by The Lisa Richards Agency.

What Do We Know About the upcoming series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? More than you may think. The Game of Thrones prequel series is the second new project set in George R.R. Martin’s fantasy realm of Westeros and the first to exist as a limited series. With multiple Game of Thrones projects in development based on existing source material, we have some solid details about this show. So, let’s dive in and take a look at what we know about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

The series will be based on multiple stories and novellas.

Set between House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is based on the novellas collectively known as The Tales of Dunk and Egg. Focused on a smaller scale narrative compared to the epic series that came before it, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms...

Game of Thrones' Next Spinoff Series Just Wrapped Filming - Main Image

As House of the Dragon season 2 closed another chapter in the Game of Thrones franchise, another spinoff series has recently wrapped filming sooner than expected. Here's what A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms star shared with fans.

Dunk and Egg Are Joining Westeros on Max Sooner Than Fans Think

The adaptation of George R.R. Martin's Dunk and Egg novellas was first announced back in 2021, where the adventures of the Hedge Knight are set in the same world as A Song of Ice and Fire.

Starring Peter Claffey as Dunk aka Ser Duncan the Tall, while working alongside Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg aka the future King Aegon V Targaryen, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes place 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones, an age where the Targaryens still hold the Iron Throne.

Considering that the flagship series' first spinoff,...

Last month, HBO finished airing the second season of its Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon. We know HBO has quite a few such spinoff series in the works, but the only other one we know is actually going to air is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, based on the Dunk and Egg novellas by George R.R. Martin.

The Dunk & Egg novellas follow two main characters: a stalwart knight named Ser Duncan the Tall and his diminutive squire Egg. Filming on the first season of the show wrapped up just the other week, with star Dexter Sol Ansell — who plays Egg — celebrating with a little video goodbye to Belfast, where much of the series is shot:

Dexter Sol Ansell, who will star as Prince Aegon Targaryen (Egg) in HBO’s ‘A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms,’ bids farewell to Belfast following the completion of filming Season 1.

The second season of House of the Dragon, the first Game of Thrones prequel series to air on HBO, wrapped up last month. It'll be 2026 before we see more of that show. However, HBO isn't going to let us go the whole of 2026 without another visit to Westeros. A new prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, will air its first season sometime in 2025.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is based on George R.R. Martin's Dunk and Egg novellas, about a very strong (if somewhat thick) knight named Dunk and his clever, much smaller squire Egg. The novellas are set decades after the events of House of the Dragon and decades before the events of Game of Thrones. There are no dragons, and at least at the start of the series, there's no war. In the three novellas yet published, Dunk and Egg simply wander the Seven Kingdoms going on adventures.

Ever thought the camera was a secret cast member? George R.R. Martin certainly does! The connection between Succession and House of the Dragon Season 2 is as deep as a dragon’s lair. Both shows play a game of power with their cameras, making them as integral to the plot as any character. Martin’s own epic saga embraces the intense, almost voyeuristic gaze of the lens, creating a parallel between the high-stakes boardrooms of Succession and the fiery thrones of House of the Dragon.

It’s as if the camera itself is scheming, plotting, and maybe even dragons’ best friend. This unexpected kinship’s a testament to the storytelling prowess of both series, proving that even the lens’ got a role to play.

HBO is getting back to basics with a new Game of Thrones spinoff called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, based on author George R.R. Martin's Dunk and Egg novellas. Unlike House of the Dragon, which is a grand, sweeping epic in the style of Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is much more intimate, giving us a worm's eye view of the Seven Kingdoms. It follows a newly minted knight named Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey), who in the first season will enter a tournament at Ashford Meadow in the Reach. That's where he'll meet the boy who will become his squire, known as Egg on account of his bald head (Dexter Sol Ansell).

Filming on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms started back in June of this year. Now, Redanian Intelligence reports that shooting on the first season has wrapped up. That means...

George R.R. Martin has a very different opinion about another Game of Thrones spin-off after his criticism of House of the Dragon. Martin appears to be extremely happy about the way A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is progressing at HBO. He visited the sets of the spin-off series and commented that his readers would definitely love Dunk and Egg from the series.

Martin was in talks with HBO for a possible adaptation of his Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas as far back as 2013. He pitched the idea to the studio in 2016 only to be rejected. Fans came to know about the project when rumors of the pitch were reported in early 2021.

George R.

George R.R. Martin has been one of the most celebrated fantasy writers of his time and his incredible body of work has made him a popular figure in pop culture. His books in the A Song of Fire of Ice series have been adapted into the HBO series Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. At 75, he has no signs of slowing down and continues to inspire many writers who came after him.

Martin has been often compared to J.R.R. Tolkien and his works. He admired Tolkien who paved the way for the rise of fantasy storytelling today. Martin is an avid reader and often goes through other works of historical fantasy by other writers. The author found a problematic trend with the current stories that were being told in that genre.

George R. R. Martin...

With the success of Game of Thrones and now its spinoff House of the Dragon, it’s no surprise that HBO is looking to continue expanding upon this world that George R. R. Martin created. With a vast history of rich characters, there is plenty still left to be explored in Westeros – it’s just a matter of finding the right stories to tell.

Some series will never see the light of day, while others are in active development, slowly but surely working their way to our screens. From Snow to Sea Snake, here are all of the Game of Thrones spinoffs that have been conceptualized in the wake of the series’ ending, and their status.

In Active Development A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Based on George R. R. Martin’s novellas that are collectively known as Tales of Dunk and Egg, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms follows...

With the cameras rolling for close to a couple of months now, the Game Of Thrones prequel A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms is most definitely underway ahead of its arrival on our screens next year. And following on from June's casting flurry, another bunch of additions have been announced, with Edward Ashley, Henry Ashton, Daniel Monks, Shaun Thomas, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and Danny Webb all reporting for duty down Westeros way.

Those new arrivals join stars Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall and Dexter Sol Ansell as his squire, Egg.

As you'll no doubt know by this point, A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms is set roughly 100 years before the events of the parent show (and 100 years after the dragon-clashing conflicts of House Of The Dragon), and follows the two unlikely heroes as they wander the land. The official synopsis adds: "Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne,...

The cast for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – the latest Game of Thrones spinoff series – is starting to come together.

The new series, which is set between the events of GoT and House of the Dragon, entered production earlier this summer in Belfast, Ireland.

On Thursday (August 8), seven stars joined the project, and their roles have been revealed. The new round of casting has introduced us to the star who will play a new Daeron Targaryen.

Among them are Edward Ashley (The Terror, Masters of the Air), who’ll play Ser Steffon Fossoway; Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (the Avengers films, Dublin Murders), who’ll play Plummer; and Henry Ashton (My Lady Jane, Outlander), who’ll play Daeron Targaryen — a relative of the one you’ve heard about in the most recent season of House of the Dragon.

HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has announced seven more actors and the roles they’ll play in the Game of Thrones prequel / House of the Dragon sequel.

The casting news includes an actor playing Daeron Targaryen. That’s a familiar name — though not a familiar face — to House of the Dragon fans. But as is often the case in George R.R. Martin’s fantasy world, there is more than one Daeron Targaryen, and this is not the same Daeron as the one in House of the Dragon.

The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Daeron will be played by Henry Ashton (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder). This Daeron, also called Daeron the Drunken, is the eldest son of King Maekar I Targaryen and is known for having prophetic dreams.

In Dragon, Daeron is King Viserys and Alicent Hightower’s fourth child, who has been kept offscreen in the series,...

Westeros is getting some new faces.

The “Game of Thrones” spinoff “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” has added seven new cast members.

The HBO series has cast Edward Ashley (“Masters of the Air”) as Ser Steffon Fossoway, Henry Ashton (“A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” and “My Lady Jane”) as Daeron Targaryen, Youssef Kerkour (“House of Gucci”) as Steely Pate, Daniel Monks (Netflix’s upcoming film “Kaos”) as Ser Manfred Dondarrion, Shaun Thomas (“How to Have Sex”) as Raymun Fossoway, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (“Avengers: Infinity War”) as Plummer and Danny Webb (HBO’s “The Regime” and “The Dig”) as Ser Arlan of Pennytree. For fans who recently finished Season 2 of “House of the Dragon,” the Daeron in “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is different than the one in the prequel series — just like how there are multiple Aegons in Westeros history.

HBO’s fantasy show, Game of Thrones, has undoubtedly left its footprint on the industry and we are not expecting it to leave anytime soon. The show, which ended in 2019 still holds much influence on its fans with the stories of Westeros, dragons, Iron Throne, and a lot of Houses. As its prequel series, House of the Dragon has already aired the first season, instantly getting renewed for another season which is airing currently, the original show may never stop working on releasing the stories of the different eras regarding Westeros’ history. Thanks to the rich detailing of the story, several other projects are under-development or in talks to further explore stories from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. Let’s talk about the spinoffs that will take the viewers to a deeper history of Westeros and beyond.

Brienne of Tarth's Ancestor is the Lead of Game of Thrones Spin-Off, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - Main Image

Game of Thrones may have ended its main series run back in 2019, but HBO is still hard at work making multiple spin-offs based in the world of Westeros. Besides House of the Dragon, an adaptation based on the novellas A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is also in the works—and what’s interesting is, the plot will focus on the ancestor of a major Thrones player.

Exploring Brienne of Tarth's Lineage

Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) is supposed to be a play on the classic knight-in-shining-armor archetype crossed with the damsel-in-distress trope. While technically Westerosi royalty, Brienne is neither conventionally damsel-like nor in distress. Instead, she is a noble knight, and a capable fighter who can even go toe-to-toe with Sandor Clegane a.k.a. The Hound.

Simple, actually: the “House of the Dragon” Season 1 premiere was on HBO Max. This one was on Max. Wbd must know how much we all appreciate a good technicality.

The “House of the Dragon” series premiere on August 21, 2022 on HBO Max landed 10 million cross-platform viewers. Sunday’s Season 2 premiere received 7.8 million viewers across Max and linear HBO.

HBO‘s sophomore season of House of the Dragon doesn’t premiere until Sunday, but the network is ready to announce Season 3 today! This announcement is an amoosbouche for the carnage, incest, and backstabbing to come when Season 2 launches this weekend. Word about HBO greenlighting House of the Dragon Season 3 is hardly a surprise, considering the show’s overwhelming success. In addition to attracting new fans to the epic familial drama series, many who wrote off Game of Thrones after an underwhelming final season have caved to the Fomo and embraced the star-studded spinoff.

House of the Dragon is based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and focuses on the House Targaryen.

After a significant death in House of the Dragon Season 1, Rhaenyra and Alicent are ready to go to war, trading “blood for blood” and burning oppressors where they stand.

Greatness in writing comes in different forms, and two shining examples of this virtue are prolific authors Stephen King and George R.R. Martin. While King is popularly known as the ‘King of Horror’ for his masterful depiction of narratives in the genre like The Shining, Martin is the bonafide genius of fantasy with Game Of Thrones.

The first part of the Tales of Dunk and Egg trilogy is The Hedge Knight which is set between the events in House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones, and has been given the green flag by HBO (via Variety) to be developed into a series.
