It’s for the fans: Dunk and Egg’s adventures get the green light to record

After the controversial conclusion of Game of Thrones, anything approaching the universe of the HBO series has been put on hold, including Snow, which hasn’t even left the role, even though it stars Kit Harington in the role that made him a global star. House of the Dragon is now in post-production/editing, to air sometime in 2024, but, luckily for most purists, another project is already underway and casting: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight.

That’s right, the favorite and popular Duncan and Egg will come to life in the Game of Thrones franchise, whose production is already starting to move forward. It is the perfect connection between the two series already shown on HBO because it takes place between House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones and is also a trilogy. Those who follow bet that the three soap operas will be adjusted to maintain unpredictability.

Dunk and Egg’s adventures are popular because they are exciting and fun, with a tragic ending. It was one of the most requested content by fans and suggested by George R. R. Martin even before House of the Dragon was chosen, and only confirmed in April 2023, with HBO’s announcement: “A century before #GameofThrones, there was Ser Duncan, the Tall One, and his squire, Egg.” The best? The author himself is confirmed as responsible for the adaptation.

Today social networks and YouTubers were excited by the news that the cast for the series has already begun to be selected, even though the strikes have not yet come to an end in Los Angeles. As the stories are smaller compared to the other books, it is expected to be a short season, and, as it takes place during a relatively peaceful period in Westeros, less complicated to film, with fewer battles or dragons (extinct in the period).

Speculation about who Sir Duncan the High and his squire, Egg (actually Aegon V Targaryen) will be, will only heat up. Duncan has humble origins and Egg pretends to be a commoner, but together they are invincible and united, the duo’s chemistry is essential to the success of the series. What is most celebrated is that we will meet an important character from Game of Thrones, the Three-Eyed Raven who at the time was known as Brynden “Bloodraven” Rivers. The half-brother of a Targaryen king, he was the Master of Whispers and has a few appearances in the books. Egg’s tragic obsession with dragons – which will later mark their story – is already revealed in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight. According to the platform’s synopsis, Sir Duncan and Egg travel through Westeros, interacting with the people. The story focuses on themes of heroism, honor, and kindness and how commoners are affected by the powerful.
