A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Production Details

The series is co-created by George RR Martin and Ira Parker. Filming commenced in June 2024 and wrapped up in September 2024. The series is based on George RR Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas.

George RR Martin explained that: “I love Dunk and I love Egg, and I know that fans refer to my novellas as “the Dunk & Egg stories,” sure, but there are millions of people out there who do not know the stories and the title needs to intrigue them too. If you don’t know the characters, Dunk & Egg sounds like a sitcom. Laverne & Shirley. Abbott & Costello. Beavis & Butthead. So, no. We want “knight” in the title. Knighthood and chivalry are central to the themes of these stories", as reported by Deadline.
