Game of Thrones ended absolutely terribly.
I swore I wouldn’t watch House of the Dragon.
I caved and watch it. I really enjoyed it.
Dunk & Egg, especially the first story, is my favorite spin off. I’m excited to give this a watch.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ryan Condal, who currently serves as House of the Dragon‘s showrunner, and Vince Gerardis also will be EPs.
“A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros,” the previously released official logline reads.
“A young, naive but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall” (aka Dunk) “and his diminutive squire, Egg.
In 2021, HBO and Max chief content officer Casey Bloys stressed that the Game of Thrones spinoff concepts that would move forward would be the ones that are the strongest based on several measures.
“Obviously, we know George has this incredible world with all of this really rich and complicated history and all of these characters,” he told TVLine at the time.
Bloys added that HBO also would take into account what the network — and the creators with which it partners — are most excited about, story-wise.
The original article contains 314 words, the summary contains 142 words. Saved 55%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Neat! Another GoT show I will not be watching—those original show runners really destroyed the entire property.

And still not a book from Martin. I’ve also refused to have anything to do with his other properties.

It’s literally based on his Dunk and Egg novella series, collected in a book.

Yeah I had a tough time getting through House of Dragon, I really didn’t enjoy it. I’ll probably skip this.
