HBO has debuted a trailer and release date for the first new Game of Thrones series in three years, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms . The clip premiered at New York Comic Con on Oct. 9, teasing the six-episode season set to premiere Jan. 18. The series will star Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall, or Dunk.
HBO describes the series, “A century before the events of Game of Thrones ,” when “Two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros … a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.”
