“We are thrilled to be able to deliver new seasons of these two series for the next three years, for the legion of fans of the Game of Thrones universe,” said Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO Programming. “In January, I think audiences will be delighted by the inspiring underdog tale of Dunk and Egg that George and Ira Parker have so beautifully captured. And this summer, ‘House of the Dragon’ is set to ignite once again with some of its most epic battles yet.”
Set about a century before the original series, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” tells the story of Ser Duncan the Tall and his unlikely squire, Egg, in a more intimate, character-driven tale of chivalry, friendship and legacy.
