A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms trailer breakdown and what to expect

We unpack the debut trailer for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and set the table for new and returning fans. You’ll hear what the show adapts from George R. R. Martin’s Dunk and Egg stories, why the tone feels lighter than Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, what to expect from the Ashford tournament, and how the smaller scale changes the feel of Westeros. We also flag key details to watch for without spoilers and share simple ways to get caught up before the premiere.

01:59 Closing thoughts

  • 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.”

Bill Skarsgård Returns as Pennywise in Max's 'Welcome to Derry'

Bill Skarsgård Returns as Pennywise in Max's 'Welcome to Derry'

Max has officially announced that Bill Skarsgård will reprise his iconic role as Pennywise the Clown in the upcoming It prequel series, "Welcome to Derry." Skarsgård, who first terrified audiences in the 2017 adaptation of Stephen King's It and its 2019 sequel, It Chapter Two, is also set to serve as an executive producer on the series. Reuniting with Skarsgård are Andy Muschietti, the director of both It films, along with producer Barbara Muschietti and co-producer Jason Fuchs. This collaboration promises to deliver a chilling expansion of the It universe, with big scares tailored for the small screen. Skarsgård's return to the role comes after he confirmed in March last year that he was "not involved" with the prequel. However, it seems the allure of Pennywise was too strong to resist, and he has since signed on to bring the flame-haired clown back to life. Although the series has been in development since 2022, details remain scarce. Even the working title, "Welcome to Derry," is subject to change.
