As noted in HBO’s description for the series, The Hedge Knight is “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.”

Martin is co-writing and executive producing The Hedge Knight alongside Ira Parker. Now that casting is underway, The Hedge Knight may premiere as soon as 2025. In the meantime, House of the Dragon Season 2 will premiere this summer on HBO and Max.
