With the second season of House of the Dragon now complete, HBO is turning its attention to the next chapter of its burgeoning Game of Thrones universe as Variety has reported that the upcoming spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight has filled out its cast with seven new additions.
Joining the series are Edward Ashley (Masters of the Air”) as Ser Steffon Fossoway, Henry Ashton (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder) as Daeron Targaryen, Youssef Kerkour (House of Gucci) as Steely Pate, Daniel Monks (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 (The Regime) as Ser Arlan of Pennytree.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s ‘Tales of Dunk and Egg’ novellas and starring Peter Claffey (Vikings: Valhalla) and Dexter Sol Ansell (The Moor) as the titular Dunk and Egg, a.k.a. Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Aegon Targaryen. The official synopsis reads:
“A century before the events of ‘Game of Thrones,’ two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros…a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.”
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is coming to HBO in 2025.
