Westeros is getting some new faces.
The “Game of Thrones” spinoff “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” has added seven new cast members.
The HBO series has cast Edward Ashley (“Masters of the Air”) as Ser Steffon Fossoway, Henry Ashton (“A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” and “My Lady Jane”) as Daeron Targaryen, Youssef Kerkour (“House of Gucci”) as Steely Pate, Daniel Monks (Netflix’s upcoming film “Kaos”) as Ser Manfred Dondarrion, Shaun Thomas (“How to Have Sex”) as Raymun Fossoway, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (“Avengers: Infinity War”) as Plummer and Danny Webb (HBO’s “The Regime” and “The Dig”) as Ser Arlan of Pennytree. For fans who recently finished Season 2 of “House of the Dragon,” the Daeron in “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is different than the one in the prequel series — just like how there are multiple Aegons in Westeros history.
They join stars Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall and Dexter Sol Ansell as his squire Egg. The series, set to air next year, is set 100 years before the main “Game of Thrones” story and 100 years after the prequel “House of the Dragon.”
The logline reads: “A century before the events of ‘Game of Thrones,’ two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros…a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.”
The cast also includes Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen, Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen, Tanzyn Crawford as Tanselle, Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonel Baratheon and Sam Spruell as Maekar Targaryen. The show is based on author George R. R. Martin’s novellas, “The Hedge Knight” (1998), “The Sworn Sword” (2003) and “The Mystery Knight” (2010).
“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is co-created and executive produced by Martin and Ira Park, who is also showrunner. Ryan Condal, Vince Gerardis, Sarah Bradshaw and Owen Harris also executive produce.
