Fantasy prince George RR Martin recently had a lot of criticism of the filming of his Westeros legends and, above all, did not give good hair on the 2nd season of House of the Dragon. The author now gives completely different tones with regard to the upcoming Game of Thrones branch a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which he has already seen as a performing producer.
Game of Thrones author George RR Martin is completely enthusiastic about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
On his personal blog, Grrm praised the HBO series adaptation of his hedge knight amendment * in the highest tones:
I have now seen all six episodes (admittedly in raw version), and and I loved her. Dunk and egg have always been favorites of mine and the actors we found for them are simply incredible. The rest of the line -up is also great. Wait until you meet the laughing storm and Tanselle too large.
If you are asking yourself who this should be: The laughing storm is the nickname of Ser Lyonel Baratheon (Daniel Ings), a knight in the service of King Daeron II. Targaryen, and Tanselle (Tanzyn Crawford) is a doll player from Dorne.
Martin is particularly impressed by how much showrunner Ira Parker and his team adhered to his template without artificially pumping on the fantasy series with action:
It is the faithful adaptation that you can only hope for as a reasonable person […]. Spectators: Inside, the action, more action and only action … Well, that may not be satisfied. There is a huge fighting scene, as exciting as you can wish for, but this time there are no dragons, no big battles, no white hikers … This is a character piece, and his focus is on duty and honor, on knightly and everything it means.
In addition, George RR Martin confirmed the already known HBO plans, the series a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in the later half of 2025 to publish. “Maybe in autumn”he even says. In Germany, the format, like the other Westeros series, will be at home again in the Sky house.
