The first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has wrapped up. Now, fans of the show are looking ahead to what might come next in Season 2.
Warning: This article will explore potential future storylines in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. However, there will be no specific spoilers of future events, just potential storylines that the show could go down.
Was Season 1 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms based on a book?
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was based entirely on the George R.R. Martin novella, The Hedge Knight. This is the first of three novellas in the Tales of Dunk and Egg series. There were some storylines added in to help the story translate to TV better, but it was a pretty faithful adaptation overall. There are two more novellas in the series, but the TV series will include stories outside the novellas as well.
What book will Season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms be based on?
Season 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be based on the second novella in the Tales of Dunk and Egg series, A Sworn Sword. There is a time gap of around a year or two between the ending of The Hedge Knight and the start of A Sworn Sword. It’s unclear if the show will try to fill that gap or use flashback sequences to fill in some of the events that happen. Regardless, it will be another season mainly featuring Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg. There is no significant time jump, so the same actors will be used in the second season.
What happens in A Sworn Sword?
In A Sworn Sword, Dunk and Egg have set off to find their next adventure. The duo enters the service of Ser Eustace Osgrey, the head of House Osgrey in the Reach. This season will be much more political than the first season. The Hedge Knight is about Ser Duncan finding his way as a knight and competing in a tourney. It is also about Dunk and Egg learning about each other’s true identities and coming together as a duo. However, A Sworn Sword is about Ser Duncan the Tall working for a lord. This lord gets into a political debate with a neighboring house, and Ser Duncan is called upon to help solve this issue. The novella focuses much more on Dunk and Egg learning how to solve problems through reason and logic, rather than through force.
