George R. R. Martin may typically be a bit too open about when he would not like an adaptation of his works, however at the least he appears to love the subsequent Recreation of Thrones spinoff.
I can perceive as an artist if you get a bit miffed that an adaptation of your works did not fairly go as you imagined it, however I believe we will all agree that Martin’s dealing with of his Home of the Dragon criticisms final 12 months was perhaps the fallacious method to go about it. So if you hear the phrases “George R. R. Martin is writing about one other adaptation” you possibly can’t assist however marvel if he is put his foot in it once more. Fortunately, on this event although, his submit over on his weblog concerning the upcoming collection A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was really fairly optimistic!
“Ira [Parker] and his staff wrapped the primary season months in the past, and moved proper on to submit manufacturing,” wrote Martin. “I’ve seen all six episodes now (the final two in tough cuts, admittedly), and I cherished them. Dunk and Egg have at all times been favorites of mine, and the actors we discovered to painting them are simply unbelievable. The remainder of the solid are terrific as effectively. Wait till you guys meet the Laughing Storm, and Tanselle Too-Tall.”
Martin even went as far to say that this adaptation of The Hedge Knight, “the primary of the novellas I wrote about them,” is “as devoted an adaptation as an affordable man may hope for (and also you all understand how extremely affordable I’m on that individual topic).” We certain do, Martin.
The creator might have even hinted at a potential season 2 as he shared that the collection will “make its debut late this 12 months,” and within the meantime they’re going to be “transferring on to “The Sworn Sword,” the second story of Dunk & Egg.”
A correct trailer for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms hasn’t been launched but, however there was a quick look provided at it final 12 months throughout a 2025 spotlight reel from HBO. Now we simply have to attend and see if we prefer it as a lot as Martin does.
