  • The show premieres January 18, 2026 with a six episode first season.

  • This is a character driven road story that follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg.

  • Expect a lighter tone with humor and smaller scale conflicts that still ripple across Westeros later.

  • Do not expect dragon spectacles or sprawling palace intrigue. The focus is on people and choices.

  • The Ashford tournament is the centerpiece of season one and sets many threads in motion.

  • Newcomers can jump in without prior lore. Readers can enjoy extra context from the novellas or the comic adaptation.

  • “This is going to be a lot lighter than I expected, with jokes and quips, and it’s going to be kind of a fun story.”

  • “It’s about these guys on the road and some of the small choices they make that have big impacts later on.”

  • “You won’t see big dragons. Dragons are gone at this point.”

Blizzard’s Lawsuit with Netflix Axes Major Game Adaptations

Blizzard’s Lawsuit with Netflix Axes Major Game Adaptations

Blizzard fans were left disappointed after learning that planned Netflix adaptations of StarCraft, Overwatch, and Diablo were canceled due to a legal battle between Blizzard and Netflix. The dispute began when Blizzard sued Netflix for poaching its Chief Financial Officer, Spencer Neumann, in 2019. Fans were particularly excited about the potential for an Overwatch animated series, given the game's successful character-driven shorts. While Warcraft was left out of the canceled projects due to the poor reception of its 2016 film, other major franchises lost their shot at streaming success. Despite this, Blizzard continues to focus on supporting current titles like Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 while prepping the release of StarCraft: Remastered on Game Pass.
