George Martin confirmed that the basis for the second season of "The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" is the book "The Faithful Sword." George R. R. Martin officially announced in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that the second season of the series "The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" is already in development. According to the writer, the plot of the sequel will be based on his second novella in the series, The Hedge Knight. In addition, Martin lifted the veil on his plans to expand the universe of Dunk and Egg.
The main problem is that I only have three novellas. But I have dozens of stories about Dunk and Egg in my head. They need to be written down at last. Last year, I started two new ones: one takes place in Winterfell, the other in the Riverlands. Earlier, leaks appeared online about the possible titles of future stories. The fourth could be called "The Wolfs of Winterfell" and the fifth "The Hero of the Village." However, Martin has not confirmed this information. It also remains unclear when exactly he intends to finish the new texts — before or after completing work on the novel "The Winds of Winter." It is known that the writer gave the showrunner of the series, Ira Parker, about a dozen rough drafts of stories about Dunk and Egg. Earlier it was stated that Martin would return to writing new novels only after completing The Winds of Winter. However, in a recent interview with THR, he talks about the need to finish "new novellas and other things" before completing the novel. This creates uncertainty: is he talking about the two new novellas he started last year, or the rough drafts that have already been handed over to HBO?
The first season of the series, which is set to premiere on January 18, is based on the first novella in the cycle, The Hedge Knight. In it, Ser Duncan the Tall and his young squire Egg set off for a knightly tournament in search of glory and fortune.
