Martin, and the next one will be The Hedge Knight. Now, we have learned the date for which the series is scheduled: summer of 2025.

In this way, beyond Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, we will have a third series to delight in Martin’s vast universe.
A long journey through the Seven Kingdoms
Set a century before the events of Game of Thrones and one after House of the Dragon, in a period where the Targaryens still dominated the Iron Throne, the plot follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk), a noble but inexperienced wandering knight, and his young squire, Egg, who is more than he seems: the future King Aegon V Targaryen. Adapting the novellas by George R.R. Martin, the series will explore the relationship between this unlikely duo as they travel through Westeros facing challenges, powerful enemies, and dangerous feats.
The cast includes Peter Claffey as Dunk and Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg, along with other actors such as Sam Spruell (Maekar Targaryen) and Bertie Carvel (Baelor Targaryen). The production, which completed filming in Northern Ireland in September 2024, will have a more intimate focus and less epic than other series in the franchise, allowing for a more detailed exploration of the cultures and landscapes of the Seven Kingdoms.
