A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Release Date and Guide

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Your Ultimate Global Guide to the Newest Westeros Adventure

The world of Westeros has returned to our screens with the highly anticipated premiere of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Moving away from the high-stakes political maneuvering of Game of Thrones and the draconic civil wars of House of the Dragon, this new spinoff offers a more intimate, character-driven journey through the Seven Kingdoms.

Based on George R.R. Martin’s beloved Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas, the series premiered on January 18, 2026. Whether you're a veteran book reader or a newcomer to the realm, here is everything you need to know about the release schedule, global timings, and how to watch.

Story Setting and Premiere Details

Set roughly 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones (and 72 years after House of the Dragon), the show follows the unlikely bond between a massive, honorable hedge knight named Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and his young, bald-headed squire Egg.

Unlike its predecessors, the show is lighter in tone and smaller in scale, focusing on travel, chivalry, and the "smallfolk" of Westeros during an era when the Targaryen dynasty is at its peak but the last of the dragons have already passed from living memory.

Global Release Schedule and How to Watch

The first season consists of six episodes, following a weekly release pattern every Sunday night in the US. Notably, Episode 4 saw a special early global release on Friday, February 6, to avoid clashing with the 2026 Super Bowl.

Note: Episode 4 was released early due to Super Bowl LX.

Global Premiere Timings

To ensure you catch the episodes as soon as they drop, refer to these primary release windows:

• United States (ET): 10:00 p.m. Sundays (HBO & Max)

• United Kingdom (GMT): 3:00 a.m. Mondays (Sky Atlantic & NOW)

• Canada (ET): 10:00 p.m. Sundays (Crave)

• Australia (AEDT): 2:00 p.m. Mondays (Binge / Foxtel)

• India (IST): 8:30 a.m. Mondays (JioHotstar / JioCinema)

Episode Runtimes

Reflecting its more focused storytelling, the episodes are shorter than the traditional hour-long Game of Thrones installments. Most episodes range between 31 to 42 minutes, making it a perfect bite-sized addition to your weekly TV schedule.

Cast and Key Characters

The production has been praised for its perfect casting of the core duo:

• Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk): A lowborn, towering knight trying to find his place.

• Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg: A mysterious, precocious boy who hides a royal secret.

• Finn Bennett as Prince Aerion Targaryen: A cruel and arrogant prince who serves as an early antagonist.

• Bertie Carvel as Prince Baelor "Breakspear" Targaryen: The noble heir to the Iron Throne.

• Sam Spruell as Prince Maekar Targaryen: The stern Prince of Summerhall and father to Egg.

• Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonel Baratheon: The boisterous "Laughing Storm."

With the series already renewed for a second season (expected in 2027), there has never been a better time to saddle up and follow Dunk and Egg across the Crownlands.
