Guess What, ‘Game of Thrones’ Fans? Another New Prequel Series Is Coming to HBO
First, GOT fans tuned in to watch the highly anticipated spinoff series, House of the Dragon, which broke major viewing records on the day of its premiere. And now, HBO has just announced another Game of Thrones prequel series will be coming to the network and we already have an official title.
Today, HBO announced that the new GOT spinoff series, titled A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Night, has been ordered by the network. The exciting news was revealed during Discovery’s exclusive unveiling of the new “Max” streaming service at the Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles.

Per the official press release, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Night will be written and executive produced by George R.R. Martin and Ira Parker. In addition, Ryan Condal and Vince Gerardis will serve as executive producers.
The logline for the new GOT spinoff series reads: “A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros…a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.”

This new prequel announcement comes shortly after the network confirmed that production for House of the Dragon season two has already begun. Right now, all we know is that the new episodes will be filmed at Leavesden Studios in the U.K.
