Bad Sisters’ <\/em>Claffey will play the courageous knight Ser Duncan the Tall, aka Dunk, and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes’ <\/em>Ansell will play Dunk’s squire, Egg. The official description<\/a> of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight <\/em>reads: “A century before the events of Game of Thrones<\/em><\/a>, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros\u2026 a young, naive, 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.”<\/p>\n According to Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a>, “Claffey, a former Connacht Rugby player in Ireland, made his stage debut at Dublin’s Abbey Theatre in A Whistle in the Dark<\/em> by Tom Murphy. He was seen in 2022’s Bad Sisters<\/em> and Wreck<\/em>, and he’s set to star opposite Cillian Murphy in Small Things Like These<\/em> and to appear in season three of Vikings: Valhalla<\/em>.<\/p>\n “Ansell, now nine years old, started his acting career at the age of four on ITV’s 2019 show Emmerdale<\/em>. His credits include Sky’s thriller series The Midwich Cuckoos<\/em> and Netflix’s comedy film Christmas on Mistletoe Farm<\/em>, but he more recently portrayed a younger Coriolanus Snow in last year’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes<\/em>.”<\/p>\n In a 2023 blog entry<\/a>, George R.R. Martin wrote that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight<\/em> will adapt 1998’s The Hedge Knight<\/em>, 2003’s The Sworn Sword<\/em>, and 2010’s The Mystery Knight<\/em>. Martin wrote:<\/p>\n “Our premiere season will be an adaptation of the first of the three published novellas, The Hedge Knight<\/em>, the tale of how Dunk and Egg first met during a tournament at Ashford Meadow. The pilot script is already written, and I think it\u2019s terrific. It was written by Ira Parker, who is no stranger to Westeros. He was part of Ryan Condal\u2019s writing staff for the first season of House of the Dragon<\/em>, and wrote the fourth episode of House of the Dragon<\/em>\u2019s first season, ‘King of the Narrow Sea.’ That\u2019s the one where Prince Daemon returns to King\u2019s Landing after conquering the Stepstones, and takes Princess Rhaenyra down into the stews of Flea Bottom. Ryan Condal is on board as well, as an executive producer. So am I.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight <\/em>will premiere in 2025 on Max.<\/p>\n The post \u2018Game of Thrones\u2019 Prequel \u2018A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight\u2019 Casts Its Dunk and Egg<\/a> first appeared on Wealth of Geeks<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe First Season of ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight’ Will Cover the First Three ‘Tales of Dunk and Egg’ Novellas<\/h2>\n
