Game of Thrones Spinoff Premieres January 2026 on HBO
The latest Westeros adventure debuts with six episodes following hedge knight Dunk and his squire Egg, set 90 years before the original series in a completely new era.
HBO's newest journey into Westeros arrives January 18, 2026, bringing viewers back to the world of dragons and political intrigue. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms draws from George R.R. Martin's Dunk and Egg stories, focusing on a humble hedge knight and his ambitious young companion as they chase glory at tournaments across the realm.
This fresh take on the Game of Thrones universe unfolds 90 years before Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen ever existed. The timeline places it a full century after House of the Dragon events, creating space for entirely new characters and storylines. Viewers can expect unfamiliar faces navigating the same treacherous political landscape that made the original series famous.
Episode Schedule and Viewing Details
The premiere drops January 18 at 10pm ET/PT on HBO. UK audiences get their first look January 19 at 3am GMT, with a repeat broadcast at 9pm GMT the same day. New episodes follow weekly on Sundays in America, Mondays across the pond.
Six total episodes make up the complete season, matching Game of Thrones' final season length. The schedule runs: Episode 1 on January 18, Episode 2 on January 25, Episode 3 on February 1, Episode 4 on February 8, Episode 5 on February 15, and the finale on February 22.
Where to Watch
HBO carries the show in America, while Sky Atlantic handles UK broadcasts. Streaming options include HBO Max for US viewers and NOW for British fans. The six-episode format represents the shortest Game of Thrones season since the original series concluded.
Dunk and Egg's adventures promise a different flavor from previous Westeros stories. The hedge knight's humble origins contrast sharply with the royal bloodlines and noble houses that dominated earlier shows. This shift in perspective might offer viewers a ground-level view of the Seven Kingdoms they haven't experienced before.
