In the sixth episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a title card flashed briefly, jokingly referring to “A Knight of the Nine Kingdoms.” Ira Parker, the show’s co-creator and showrunner, explained to Variety that it was a playful mistake. He said the gag was based on a genuine plot point: by that time in the story, there are indeed nine kingdoms.

Parker described the goal of a recent change as making Westeros feel more enjoyable, even amidst difficult and sad events, mirroring the complexities of real life. He compared it to finding humor even in somber situations, like making jokes at a shiva, emphasizing the need for moments of levity. He also clarified that the show’s title will remain the same.

Parker discussed the last scene, where Prince Maekar discovers Egg is gone and exclaims his frustration. He explained the scene was originally intended as a lighthearted joke, but viewers reacted strongly to it. As a result, he’s had to address the reaction more than anticipated while working on the second season.

Parker addressed Egg’s statement about having Maekar’s permission to leave, explaining that it hasn’t been officially confirmed in the story. While he doesn’t believe they’ve made any major errors, he does think it’s believable from a character standpoint. Parker pointed out that Egg’s tendency to run away and lie is already established, so this behavior fits his personality and he would likely do it again.

All episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are now streaming on HBO Max.
