The Game of Thrones universe has found success by maintaining some boundaries between its various shows. After the main series ended in 2019, there immediately were plans for a bunch of different spinoffs, but only one came to fruition in the years to come: House of the Dragon, set more than a century before Game of Thrones itself. But despite the separation, there were still some ties to the series that made people fall in love with Westeros,

So, it looks like HBO went back to the drawing board and scoured George R. R. Martin's writings for another tale to dig up, titled A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. In the first trailer released to audiences at New York Comic-Con, the second prequel looks to try and solve the level of investment required to watch one of these fantasy epics on the small screen.

The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffery), a lowly hedge knight who happens to be - surprise - very, very tall. He sets out for the town of Ashford and is eventually accompanied by a young boy, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), who becomes his squire. While there, Duncan is put to the test in a tournament, with Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett) rivaling the hedge knight. The series takes place nearly 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and nearly 100 years after the events of the ongoing prequel series, House of the Dragon.
