George R. R. Martin may typically be a bit too open about when he does not like an adaptation of his works, however no less than he appears to love the following Recreation of Thrones spinoff.
I can perceive as an artist while 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 yr was perhaps the unsuitable solution to go about it. So while you hear the phrases “George R. R. Martin is writing about one other adaptation” you’ll be able to’t assist however marvel if he is put his foot in it once more. Fortunately, on this event although, his publish over on his weblog concerning the upcoming collection A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was really fairly optimistic!
“Ira [Parker] and his crew wrapped the primary season months in the past, and moved proper on to publish 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 inexpensive man may hope for (and also you all know the way extremely cheap I’m on that individual topic).” We positive 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 yr,” and within the meantime they will be “shifting 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 yr 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.
