"Dragon House" - long trailer/HBO
The cable network HBO has announced the casting of Dunk and Egg, the pair of main roles in the new subsidiary series of "Game of Thrones": Peter Clappy and Dexter Saul Ansell.
The series, currently titled "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight" (in free translation: "The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Unanointed Knight"), is based on Martin's successful series of novellas centered on the adventures of the high knight Sir Duncan (Dunk , played by Clappy) and his loyal assistant (Egg, played by Sol Ansel). The plot of the books and the series takes place about ninety years before the plot of "A Song of Fire and Ice" and "Game of Thrones", at a stage when the king of the Targaryen dynasty is still sitting on the Iron Throne, and although the dragons are already extinct, there are still people who remember their existence. In Hebrew, three of Dunk Wag's stories were published in one book by Opus, like the other books of George R. R. Martin, under the name "The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms".

According to the plot description in the book, Sir Duncan the High is a brave unanointed knight but still young and innocent. Duncan towers over his opponents, but he is inexperienced and lacks intrigue. Accompanying his journeys is Ag, a young tool bearer, who hides a secret from his master and the rest of the kingdom. In the kingdom of Westeros where honor is a rare commodity, these two heroes will face the devastating consequences of the Black Fire Rebellion and start a chain of events that will move the wheels of history towards the destiny of the Targaryen dynasty.
Martin himself was entrusted with creating the series and writing it alongside Ira Parker ("The Dragon's House", "Good Things"). It is expected to reach the screen at the end of 2025.
Clappy previously appeared in the series "Bad Sisters" of Apple TV Plus, and is also expected to appear in the third and final season of "Vikings: Valhalla" of Netflix. 9-year-old Saul Ansel played, among other things, in "The Hunger Games: A Ballad for Snakes and Songbirds".

Maybe he will come back too. Kit Harington as Jon Snow, Game of Thrones/HBO
Currently "The Unanointed Knight" is the second subsidiary series officially ordered by HBO, after "House of the Dragon", which was a great success despite the disappointment of many viewers from the last season of "Game of Thrones". In addition to them, a pilot was filmed for a possible series, "Blood Moon" starring Naomi Watts, but HBO did not like the result and decided not to order a full series in the end.
In addition, the cable giant is working on additional "Game of Thrones" sub-series, which are in development stages and have not yet been officially ordered, if at all. One of them is actually a continuation of the original series - a spin-off centered on the character of Jon Snow. Kit Harington has already agreed to participate if the series does come to fruition. The actor was nominated twice for an Emmy for his portrayal of the hero who struggles to maintain his family's noble values in a cruel world. Harrington's role was one of the most demanding in the series, and was mostly filmed in snowy, cold and night conditions, which should happen again in the sequel series as well.
Another "Game of Thrones" series is expected to deal with the conquest of Aegon Targaryen I and his sister-wives, who arrived on the backs of their dragons and conquered six of the seven kingdoms of Westeros.
