HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight has found its Dunk and Egg. Peter Claffey has signed on to star as Dunk and Dexter Sol Ansell is confirmed to star as Egg.
“A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall (Claffey), and his diminutive squire, Egg (Ansell),” reads HBO’s synopsis. “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.”
The much-anticipated drama is written by A Song of Fire and Ice author George R.R. Martin.

“Black Adam” (Warner Bros. Discovery/19.99) swept the #1 positions on all VOD charts this week. The Dwayne Johnson-starring DC Comics hit (still #6 in theaters over the weekend) is the fall’s second 100 million+ domestic release to reach home availability. The other is “Smile” (Paramount/19.99).
