A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms is easily his biggest role yet. Egg grows into one of the most important Targaryens in George R. R. Martin’s world, which means Dexter carries a lot on his shoulders.Further details on the second season of A Knight of Seven Kingdoms are awaited for now.More details about A Knight of Seven KingdomsA Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms is gearing up to be HBO’s next big fantasy moment, created by Ira Parker in collaboration with George R.

Dunk gets pulled into the dispute, and Egg becomes more involved in the conflict.A Knight of Seven Kingdoms will premiere on January 18 2026.
