GOT creator George R.R. Martin praises A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms spinoff

The world of Westeros is about to get more exciting with some new cast additions. The House of the Dragon just wrapped its second season with its finale episode this week and season 3 is at least two years away but there’s news from the world that George RR Martin has crafted for us.&nbsp;

HBO teased a new Game of Thrones spinoff called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The series is set some 100 years after House of the Dragon events and 100 years before Game of Thrones events – so it's right in the middle.&nbsp;

<h2>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Cast Revealed</h2>

The HBO series has cast Edward Ashley as Ser Steffon Fossoway, Henry Ashton as Daeron Targaryen, Youssef Kerkour as Steely Pate, Daniel Monks as Ser Manfred Dondarrion, Shaun Thomas as Raymun Fossoway, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor as Plummer and Danny Webb as Ser Arlan of Pennytree.&nbsp;

<h2>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Storyline Revealed</h2>

The Knight of The Seven Kingdoms’ logline reads: “A century before the events of ‘Game of Thrones,’ 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.”
