The trailer shows Dunk's journey from squire to knight as he becomes Ser Duncan the Tall. He swears to protect the weak and innocent as he travels to the Ashford tourney. There, many people, including several arrogant Targaryens, believe him to be an ordinary man. With Egg as his squire, Dunk begins to believe he can become the knight he was meant to be.The official synopsis states, “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.”ALSO READ: A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms Showrunner Reveals Promise To George RR Martin; Why Show Has No Title SequenceThe ensemble cast features Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, Daniel Ings, Tanzyn Crawford, Sam Spruell, Ross Anderson, Edward Ashley, Henry Ashton, Youssef Kerkour, Daniel Monks, Shaun Thomas, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, Steve Wall, and Danny Webb.
