HBO has released another teaser trailer for the upcoming series, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” which is set in the world of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones universe.
Although I thought the series was ground breaking and well written, I personally never watched past season 2 of Game of Thrones as I found the level of violence and mayhem wasn’t for me (I know, I know – I’m a prude!) but this new series following the adventure of “Dunk and Egg,” looks promising to me, mostly because of the more lighthearted and friendly story. I have hope that I won’t be “shell-shocked” by wild events (like GOT).
“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.
Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan “Dunk” the Tall, Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg, Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonel Baratheon, Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen, Danny Webb as Ser Arlan of Pennytree, Sam Spruell as Maekar Targaryen, Shaun Thomas as Raymun Fossoway, Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen, Edward Ashley as Ser Steffon Fossoway, Tanzyn Crawford as Tanselle, Henry Ashton as Daeron Targaryen, Youssef Kerkour as Steely Pate, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor as Plummer and Daniel Monks as Ser Manfred Dondarrion.
