HBO Max just dropped a brand-new poster for “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”, and it’s giving fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for. Mark your calendars — the series premieres January 18, 2026.
Set a century before Game of Thrones, the show follows Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and his young squire, Egg — secretly Prince Aegon Targaryen — as they wander a turbulent Westeros. The poster captures their dynamic perfectly: Dunk looking battle-ready and imposing, Egg cautious yet curious. It’s a visual promise of adventure, honor, and the quieter moments that shape history.
Unlike the sprawling, dragon-filled spectacles of its predecessor, this prequel is all about character-driven storytelling. With six episodes running around 30 minutes each, HBO Max is going for a tight, engaging ride — a journey into Westeros’ past where the smallest heroes can leave the biggest mark.
Fans of the Dunk and Egg novellas (and Game of Thrones obsessives alike) now have something concrete to get excited about. The countdown is on, and January 18 can’t come soon enough.
