Series Background and Source Material
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is based on George R. R. Martin's popular novella collection Tales of Dunk and Egg. The series is set in the expansive Game of Thrones universe, taking place chronologically after the events of House of the Dragon but before the original Game of Thrones series. This positioning allows the show to explore a different era of Westerosi history while maintaining connections to the familiar world fans have come to love.
The series represents HBO's latest effort to expand the Game of Thrones franchise, following the success of House of the Dragon. With its focus on the adventures of a knight and his squire, the show offers a more personal, character-driven story compared to the epic political dramas of its predecessors, while still maintaining the rich world-building and complex relationships that define the franchise.
