Author George R.R. Martin talks about a possible title change for the upcoming film. Game of Thrones spin-off series, which currently has a working title, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Based on events from Martin Tales of Dunk and Egg, This follows a legendary knight and his squire as they go on adventures. in the seven kingdoms. Events take place 90 years before the events in Game of Thrones. The play is adapted from a novella. Hedge Knightwhich is the first of three short stories in the collection. Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Martin reported on his blog that they are not listed in the show title. They are exploring the possibilities of both games, but have not yet come to a decision. There is a high probability that Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is “will be the name of the show” “unless we go with the HEADER KNIGHTHowever, the author is not entirely sure, since everything is there”still under discussion“ See what Martin wrote below:
“Yes, I’m talking about the new Game of Thrones spin-off. This is an adaptation of The Hedge Knight, the first of my Dank and the Egg stories. After that there were two more: “Sworn Sword” and “Secret”. Knight.’ They’re all collected in a book called KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, which will probably be the title of the series…unless we choose BETWEEN NIGHT. This is still being discussed.”
The show may get a different name
Martin’s comment implies some uncertainty about the show’s working title. While it’s not unusual for a show to change its title during post-production, talk of a title change means that any name is perfect for the Dunk & Egg story. Since promotional efforts have already been made with the current name, talk of a name change also suggests that may not be used in the show either.
Connected
This isn’t the first time a TV adaptation has chosen a different title than the one used in the source material. House of the Dragon chose a name other than Fire and Blood. Game of Thrones also preferred to use the title of the first book in the series rather than the title of the series. Song of Ice and Fire appeal to different demographic groups. Based on what Martin wrote, It’s entirely possible that the show will get a different name.
Our take on the title of the new show
He needs a better name
While Martin doesn’t like the title “Dunk & Egg” because it makes the series sound like a sitcom, it better captures the theme. Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Hedge Knight follows the future Lord Commander of the Kingsguard Ser Duncan the Tall, a hedge knight from Flea Bottom, and the future King Aegon V Targaryen, who decides to shave his head and run away from his family.
Ultimately, the series is about both Dunk and Egg.. Considering that neither “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” nor “The Hedge Knight” depict history, this may be why it was difficult to determine the title of the series. Although there is there is only a small chance that the new series will be the same Dunk and eggConsidering how much Martin dislikes the show’s title, let’s hope what they end up coming up with will reflect the show’s duo dynamic.
