Owen Harris has been incorporated into the drama of HBO as executive producer and will also direct the first three episodes, establishing the directorial vision for the series. Harris is best known for directing two of the best episodes of Black Mirror: “Be Right Back” and the acclaimed “San Junipero”.
Additionally, the episode count of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The first season will have six episodes, making it tighter than the 10-episode first seasons of game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. The running time seems appropriate given that it is an adaptation of the 160-page novel by George R.R. Martin, The Errant Knightrather than one of his 900-page epic novels.
Game of Thrones prequel series could change name
Speaking of which, the series is now simply called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms rather A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Knight Errant. This title is not necessarily final, but this is where things currently stand.
Recently, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms cast actors in its two main roles: Peter Claffey (Vikings: Valhalla) and Dexter Sol Ansell (who recently played young Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) were cast as Ser. Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg, respectively.
What is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms about?
Official show description: “A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes roamed Westeros… a young, naïve but brave knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in a time when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and the memory of the last dragon has not yet faded from living memory, great destinies, powerful enemies and dangerous deeds await these unlikely and incomparable friends.
