A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms HBO Max
Update (March 2026)

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season One has officially wrapped up. Fear not, there are still plenty of George R.R. Martin adaptations to look forward to, including a greenlit second season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. In the meantime, why not revisit the HBO phenomenon that set the world on fire. 

The latest adaptation from George R.R. Martin's world of Westeros is upon us. Significantly more upbeat than the two adaptations before it, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk for short) and his relentlessly optimistic squire, Egg. 

The first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes a "less-is-more approach to Westeros" in both tone and overall investment, with only six episodes at roughly 30 minutes a piece. Those six episodes will be released weekly exclusively on HBO Max, beginning Monday, January 19.

When do new episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms release in Australia?


A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is an original production for the streaming service HBO Max. As with all HBO exclusives, the release timing will be a little weird for Australians. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will air in the coveted 10pm Sunday night slot for Americans, which means Australians will be able to stream each new episode every Monday from 2:00pm (AEDT). That translates to 11:00am for Perth (AWST), 1:00pm for Brisbane (AEST), 1:30pm for Adelaide (ACDT) and 12:30pm for Darwin (ACST). 

Here is the Australian release schedule for every episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms:

  • Episode 1 - The Hedge Knight: Monday, January 19 at 2:00pm AEDT
  • Episode 2 - Hard Salt Beef: Monday, January 26 at 2:00pm AEDT
  • Episode 3: Monday, February 2 at 2:00pm AEDT
  • Episode 4: Monday, February 9 at 2:00pm AEDT
  • Episode 5: Monday, February 16 at 2:00pm AEDT
  • Episode 6 - Finale: Monday, February 23 at 2:00pm AEDT

What is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms about?


A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is adapted from George R.R. Martin's Dunk & Egg novella series. It follows Ser Duncan the Tall (or Dunk), a hedge knight who previously squired to another legendary hedge knight, who knighted Dunk before his untimely death with no witnesses. When Dunk makes a mysterious little lad named Egg his squire, the two partner up to have Dunk's knighthood recognised by the lords of Westeros. 

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is set 100 years before Game of Thrones and 100 years after House of the Dragon but it is notably lighter in tone than those two adaptations, and is more of an upbeat underdog tale. 

Creator: George R.R. Martin | Cast: Peter Claffey, Dexter Sol Ansell, Tanzyn Crawford Daniel Ings, Bertie Carvel, Sam Spruell, Finn Bennett.
