HBO is once again delving into the world of Westeros with its latest "Game of Thrones" prequel series, titled "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms." Following the success of "House of the Dragon," production has officially started on this highly anticipated project.

The announcement was made by the official "Game of Thrones" Twitter account on Tuesday afternoon, revealing that filming is now underway for the new prequel series. "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" is based on George R. R. Martin's novella "The Hedge Knight" and chronicles events taking place a century before the happenings in the original series.

The plot of the upcoming series revolves around two unlikely heroes, Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg, as they navigate the treacherous lands of Westeros. Set during a time when the Targaryen dynasty still reigns and dragons are a living memory, the series promises epic destinies, formidable adversaries, and thrilling adventures for these unconventional yet compelling friends.

HBO has a proven track record of success when it comes to bringing Martin's world to life, with "Game of Thrones" becoming a cultural phenomenon and "House of the Dragon" receiving critical acclaim. It's no wonder that the network is betting on another successful venture into the "GoT" universe.

While an official release date has not been announced yet, fans can anticipate the arrival of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" on HBO and HBO Max in the near future. Considering previous timelines, it's likely that viewers can expect the premiere to take place around early 2025.
