Sky has shared the first official trailer for its new half hour drama, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and it gives a warm glimpse of an unlikely partnership roaming through Westeros. The six episode run arrives on Monday, 19 January on Sky and NOW, with a fresh chapter each week. It feels like a gentler corner of the world that fans know well, though still shaped by danger and shifting power.
The story takes place a full century before the events of Game of Thrones. At this point the Targaryen bloodline still rules from the Iron Throne, and memories of the last dragon are held by people who lived through those final flights. Into this setting walk two figures who could not be more different. Ser Duncan the Tall, brave but green, and his small squire Egg. Their simple companionship sits at the heart of the tale. Great trials, well known houses, and a few sharp edged rivals all lie in wait as they travel together.
Peter Claffey leads the cast as Ser Duncan, with Dexter Sol Ansell playing Egg. The wider line up includes 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.
The series arrives from co creator and executive producer George R. R. Martin alongside co creator, showrunner and executive producer Ira Parker. Executive producers Sarah Bradshaw, Owen Harris, Ryan Condal and Vince Gerardis join them, with directing duties shared between Owen Harris and Sarah Adina Smith.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms begins its journey on Sky and NOW on 19 January.
