“In 2024, HBO Max will become Max in Spain, with HBO Originals, hit series, movies, reality shows and more. We’ll reveal more details closer to the launch date.” With this simple social media announcement, one of the world’s largest movie/tv streaming platforms has confirmed its revolution. And the change brings important announcements, such as the news of Game Of Thrones, to attract (or retain) future customers. If a week ago the news was the Harry Potter series, today the big news is the new Game of Thrones prequel.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight will be the name of this new production whose filming will begin in 2024 so that it will be released that year during which the platform of Warner Bros and Discovery are recasting as Max.
The starting point is now official: “A century before @GameofThrones, there was Ser Duncan the Great and his squire, Egg. With executive production by George RR Martin, Ira Parker, Ryan Condal and Vince Gerardis, A Knight of the #SevenKingdoms: The Hedge Knight has received a direct series order from #StreamOnMax.”
Max (formerly HBO Max) again resorts to a trilogy of works by George RR Martin (Tales of Dunk and Egg) to bring to life this new adaptation of what happened in the Seven Kingdoms with the rise and fall of the Targaryen family. This new prequel (the wandering knight) uses the title of the first work of the mentioned trilogy by the writer which also consists of The loyal sword and the mysterious knight.
the stories of Dunk, nickname of Ser Duncan the Great, and Egg his squire, also known as Aegon V Targaryenwill be set at 90 years of Song of Ice and Fire.
A project that expands the audiovisual universe of Game of Thrones which is made up of all the seasons of Game of Thrones, in addition to the first of The House of the Dragon and the second that is already underway, and rumors that include the prequel spin-off on Jon Snow.
The plan of the platform includes very different titles, something risky but at the same time very rewarding when it comes to attracting new viewers. One of the most talked about is that of Snow, the series that would explore Jon Snow’s adventures beyond the wall after the eighth season and with Kit Harrington reprising the role More related to The House of the Dragon is the series centered on the travels of Lord Corlys Velaryon, which we have already seen in the first season of the Targaryen series. In addition, another Queen Nymeria related to the naval battles of Westeros and another on the life of commoners in King’s Landing are also in preparation, as well as an animated series also centered on the same universe.
