A series adaptation of Tales of Dunk and Egg, a prequel to the events of Game of Thrones, is in early development at HBO, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.
The one-hour show would be based on the series of fantasy novellas by George R. R. Martin, which follow the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and a young Aegon V Targaryen (Egg) 90 years prior to the events of A Song of Ice and Fire.
Martin has published three novellas in the Tales of Dunk and Egg series to date: The Hedge Knight in 1998, The Sworn Sword in 2003, and The Mystery Knight in 2010. The three novellas were then collected and published together as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in 2015.

No writer or talent is currently attached to the project, but sources say it is a high priority for HBO as the premium cabler looks to build on the success of Game of Thrones.
Reps for HBO and Martin declined to comment.

fuck george btw

still behind on 2 books lol

Oh look, George selling ANOTHER incomplete series as a TV show

fuck off

Ya know I really do wonder how many people out there are still clamoring for GoT content after the way it ended. Like, that HAD to have killed off interest for a lot of viewers.

"No writer or talent is currently attached to the project"

Sounds like D&D are behind it alright

---

and the only buddy show that should spinoff would be jamie and bron. those two were great together

---

House of the Dragon will be better, but whatever. At least we'll get to see Bloodraven being badass and toddler Walder Frey being a little shit.

---

That is such a dumb fucking name for a show lmao sounds like a comedy.

words are wind

I know this because not only did they say it 87 fucking times in the last book but George himself has lied more times than I can count

Same here.

Hilarious, when they announced all the spin shows he specifically said not to do this.

I agree . I bet there's tons of material out there more deserving of a tv adaptation than this incomplete crap .

I find it insulting that they are even trying to make a spin-off with the way the main show ended. Season 7/8 truly were the most disastrous seasons of tv for any show... completely killed my interest in the entire premice
