Fans of Game of Thrones have something exciting to look forward to — the long-awaited spin-off A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is finally set to release in early 2026. The show will stream internationally on Max (formerly HBO Max), while viewers in India can catch it on JioCinema, according to the Economic Times.

The makers recently dropped the official poster, which comes with the tagline “A tall tale that became legend.” The poster hints at an adventurous, lighter tone that sets it apart from the darker worlds of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. The official Game of Thrones social media handle shared it with the caption, “This Winter, Spring is Coming,” confirming its January premiere on Max.

The series is based on George R.R. Martin’s novella The Hedge Knight and follows the journey of Ser Duncan the Tall, also known as Dunk, and his young squire, Egg. Peter Claffey stars as Ser Duncan, while Dexter Sol Ansell plays Egg. The story is set nearly a hundred years before Game of Thrones and about a century after House of the Dragon.

According to the official synopsis shared by Variety, the series will explore the adventures of Dunk, a brave yet humble knight, and Egg, his small but spirited companion. The two wander across Westeros in an age when the Targaryens still rule the Iron Throne and the memory of dragons is still alive. Along the way, they face powerful enemies, life-changing choices, and unexpected challenges that shape their destinies.

The story leads them to a grand tournament at Ashford Meadow, where they meet several members of the Targaryen family, including Prince Aerion, Prince Baelor, and Prince Maekar. The teaser poster also puts a spotlight on Egg, giving fans a glimpse into his early life before he eventually becomes one of Westeros’s most memorable Targaryen kings.

Indian audiences will be able to stream A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms on JioCinema in early 2026, while global viewers can watch it on Max. The show promises to bring back the charm of the Game of Thrones universe — this time with more warmth, adventure, and heart.
