Interviews With The "A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms" Star Dexter Sol Ansell, Showrunner Ira Parker & Director Owen Harris

"A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms" is an American fantasy drama television series created by Ira Parker and George R. R. Martin. A prequel to "Game of Thrones" (2011–2019), it is the third television series in Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" franchise and is an adaptation of the Tales of Dunk and Egg series of novellas, beginning with "The Hedge Knight." It stars Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan "Dunk" the Tall, the titular hedge knight, and Dexter Sol Ansell as his squire, Aegon "Egg" Targaryen. The series premiered on January 18th, 2026, on HBO, with its first season consisting of six episodes, and received positive reviews for its performances, direction, writing, and craftsmanship, particularly for Episode 5, "In the Name of the Mother" directed by Owen Harris. Dexter Sol Ansell and Owen Harris were kind enough to speak with me about their work and experience on the drama series, while Ira Parker took some time to speak with Will Mavity, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the series, which is up for your consideration for this year's Emmy Awards and is now available to stream on HBO Max. Thank you, and enjoy!
