George R. R. Martin has revealed the hilarious reason he was worried about the new GameOfThrones prequel series.
The critically acclaimed and universally adored television series, Game of Thrones premiered twelve years ago yesterday. Despite its somewhat controversial ending, the series maintained its legion of fans and HBO has, in the aftermath of the original series, set about the production of new spinoffs for the show. House of the Dragon emerged last year as one of the biggest shows produced by HBO continuing in the trend of Thrones.
Audiences well versed in the scheming that abound in Westeros will gobble up any opportunity to return to the Seven Kingdoms, so an expansion of the franchise is more than welcome. The Hedge Knight is based on the Dunk and Egg books written by famous author, George R.R. Martin and as such many might have expected the series to bear a similar title.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The author goes on to explain that the plan was to make sure the series didn't sound like a sitcom saying, "If you don't know the characters, Dunk & Egg sounds like a sitcom," he added. "Laverne & Shirley. Abott & Costello. Beavis & Butt-Head. So, no. We want 'knight' in the title. Knighthood and chivalry are central to the themes of these stories.
“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.
