![]() The first season will cover the events of The Hedge Knight as the first novella, and the pilot was penned by Ira Parker, who wrote the memorable fourth episode of House of the Dragon that involved Daemon and Rhaenyra’s trip to the brothel. ![]() Martin admitted that there’s not much else that he can say about the project other than to confirm the series order rather than pilot order, and share that it will likely run for six episodes, but that isn’t guaranteed yet. House of the Dragon is based on the fictional history book of the Targaryens called Fire & Blood. After all, the novel saga that inspired Game of Thrones is called A Song of Ice & Fire, and A Game of Thrones is simply the title of the first book. The name choice omitting “Dunk & Egg” isn’t altogether shocking, as both of the other Westeros-set series on HBO changed their names from the books they’re based on. ![]() Knighthood and chivalry are central to the themes of these stories. If you don’t know the characters, DUNK & EGG sounds like a sitcom. I love Dunk and I love Egg, and I know that fans refer to my novellas as ‘the Dunk & Egg stories,’ sure, but there are millions of people out there who do not know the stories and the title needs to intrigue them too. ![]()
