Just when we thought those “Game of Thrones” prequel serieseseseses had stalled, it sounds like yet-another one is coming from HBO. “The Tales of Dunk and Egg” is reportedly being developed for the cabler, and we’re pretty excited by this news.
In a report from THR, the outlet claims exclusive knowledge of the series based on the works of George R. R. Martin, and HBO thus far has not commented.
Dunk and Egg refers to the adventures of hedge knight and later legendary Kingsguard member Ser Duncan the Tall, and his squire Egg, who would become King Aegon V Targaryen of Westeros.
In Martin’s novels, the Dunk and Egg adventures take place about 90 years before the “Song of Ice and Fire” series, of which “A Game of Thrones” is the first book. You can pick up a copy of “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” which has three different “Game of Thrones” prequel stories about these valorous warriors on Amazon here.
This story is developing…

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
