‘Game of Thrones’ Spinoff ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Begins Filming as ‘The Crown,’ ‘True Detective’ Actors Join Cast
Production on the "Game of Thrones" spinoff series "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" has started in Belfast, Ireland with five actors joining the cast.
Five actors are joining the cast, including Finn Bennett (“True Detective: Night Country”), Bertie Carvel (“The Crown”), Tanzyn Crawford (“Tiny Beautiful Things”), Daniel Ings (“Sex Education”) and Sam Spruell (“Small Axe: Mangrove”). Adapted from George R. R. Martin’s novella “The Hedge Knight,” the first season of “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” will follow the exploits of the knight Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his young squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), roughly 100 years before the events of “Game of Thrones” and 100 years after the events of “House of the Dragon.” Their journey will take them to a competition in which they encounter several members of the Targaryen dynasty — including Prince Aerion Targaryen (Bennett), Prince Baelor Targaryen (Carvel) and Prince Maekar Targaryen (Spruell) — along with another knight known as the Laughing Storm, Ser Lyonel Baratheon (Ings), and a puppeteer named Tanselle (Crawford). The series is written and executive produced by Martin and Ira Parker (“The Sympathizer,” “House of the Dragon”).
