Welcome back for another Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire video. In this video, I will be talking about HBO's new official announcement. Earlier today, HBO revealed the lead actors for their new Game of Thrones Prequel Series about Dunk and Egg. As you all know, HBO is developing another Game of Thrones series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight. The HBO series is based around the characters Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg, featured in the “Tales of Dunk and Egg” novellas written by George R.R. Martin. Peter Claffey has been cast as Dunk, while Dexter Sol Ansell has been cast as Egg. The series is set to begin filming in only six weeks! According to HBO, the Dunk and Egg series will release on HBO Max in 2025.

Can MyHeritage prove I'm supposed to be 1/8th Cherokee Indian? My Great Grandmother wouldn't sign the India Roles, had 1 sister, and claimed to be Cherokee Indian according to my Aunt and Birth Mother. I have recently started to wonder if she was really from a different tribe and just wanted to sever the ties.

Said it 1000 times. Do a mini series for dunk and egg. One now. One a 3-5 years from now. Use different actors for them too if you want. I would prefer that to them making up stories for George RR Martin and screwing up this opportunity. I DO NOT WANT MARVEL OR STAR WARS HAPPENING TO THIS!
