At its core, HBO’s new series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – a Game of Thrones spinoff – focuses on relatable, everyday characters, and that’s a major reason why its first season is so engaging. The story centers on Duncan (Peter Claffey), a kind but large man trying to build a life as a hedge knight after his former master dies. These hedge knights are similar to wandering samurai – they don’t serve a lord, aren’t glamorous, and travel from place to place. But for Duncan, nicknamed “Dunk,” this path still offers a chance for honor and meaning. The series begins with him traveling to the town of Ashford to compete in a tournament attracting royalty. On his journey, he takes on a small, strangely bald boy named Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) as his squire. Egg’s true identity is a mystery for much of the season, though viewers will likely guess it before it’s revealed.

She claims her actions are about revenge, and uses that as a reason for stealing Dr. Matip’s formula and arranging a profitable sale to a foreign competitor. However, the real reason behind everything is simple: everyone needs money.

The marketing for this new release is building suspense, much like a ticking time bomb in a Hitchcock film. It’s not about big, flashy moments; instead, Marvel wants to create a feeling that something huge is coming.
