One of the Most Anticipated Shows of 2026 Drops on HBO Max Today

Prepare to return to the world of Westeros with the newest addition to George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire saga. The Game of Thrones prequel, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, will premiere on HBO and HBO Max on January 18th at 10 p.m. Eastern Time. Based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas, the series is set a century before the events of Game of Thrones, during the reign of the Targaryen dynasty. It follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall, a wandering knight, and his young squire, Egg. This series will have six episodes, each lasting roughly 30 to 45 minutes – shorter than the hour-long episodes of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.
