A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms OTT release update: When and where to watch the spinoff series in India

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the much-anticipated Game of Thrones prequel is all set for its OTT release. The fantasy drama is set to premiere in early 2026 and will stream on Max (formerly HBO Max) in the US, while Indian audiences can watch it on JioCinema’s premium tier.

A New Chapter in Westeros

Based on George R. R. Martin’s beloved Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas, the series is set almost a century before the events of Game of Thrones. It follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall, known as Dunk, and his young squire, Aegon V Targaryen, nicknamed Egg. Their journey explores an unlikely friendship that grows amidst political intrigue, family rivalries, and tournaments that shape the future of the Targaryen dynasty.

Unlike the grim tones of Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, this series promises a more adventurous and heartfelt look at Westeros. The official teaser poster, featuring the tagline “A tall tale that became legend,” hints at a brighter, more personal narrative focused on courage, loyalty, and destiny.

Cast and Characters

Peter Claffey plays Ser Duncan, while Dexter Sol Ansell stars as the young Aegon. Fans can also expect appearances from other familiar Targaryens, Prince Baelor, Prince Maekar, and Prince Aerion “Brightflame”,  who play key roles in the Ashford Meadow tournament, a pivotal event in the story.

Showrunner Ira Parker described the series as an exploration of a fragile era in Westeros, when the Targaryens were no longer defined by the power of dragons.

“They find themselves without the power that once defined them,” Parker said, hinting at deeper questions about leadership and legitimacy in a world transitioning beyond magic.

With its grounded storytelling, emotional stakes, and a focus on smaller-scale adventures, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms aims to expand the Game of Thrones universe in a fresh direction. It’s one of HBO’s first major releases of 2026 , and for fans waiting to return to Westeros, this could be the perfect bridge between myth and history.
