A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will release on...

On social media, the Game of Thrones account posted, "This Winter, Spring is Coming. #AKnightoftheSevenKingdoms premieres January, only on @hbomax. #NYCC." Earlier this year, CEO of HBO and Max Content, Casey Bloys had also confirmed that the show would arrive in the new year.

The prequel series to Game of Thrones is based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas by George RR Martin and follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and a young Aegon V Targaryen, nicknamed Egg. In the teaser poster, the tiny, bald Dexter Sol Ansell, who plays Egg is seen. Dunk actor Peter Claffey is intentionally cut off in the poster. The tagline states, "A tall tale that became legend."ALSO READ: A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms Showrunner Reveals Promise To George RR Martin; Why Show Has No Title Sequence

Will viewers see Targaryens in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?

Yes, there are some Targaryens, besides little Aegon V. The Ashford Meadow tourney, which Dunk and Egg are participating in, also finds the attendance of Prince Baelor Targaryen (Bertie Carvel), the heir to the Iron Throne; his brother, Prince Maekar (Sam Spruell); and his nephew, Prince Aerion "Brightflame" (Finn Bennett). The latter enters the tournament with Dunk. The family doesn't receive a warm welcome from the crowd at Ashton and showrunner Ira Parker shares why. He told Entertainment Weekly, "They find themselves finally without the thing that put them in power, which is such a precarious position to be in. Fifty years on from the dragons, people are starting to ask the question, ‘Well, why are we still letting them be in power?’ They normally maybe wouldn’t have even bothered with this backwater little town in the middle of the Reach. But they do because they have to be seen as still in charge.”
