Game of Thrones

Fans of the Game of Thrones spin-off series are desperate to watch the finale of the HBO fantasy drama

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is coming to an end this week after a momentous run and a warm reception from fans.

The Game of Thrones spin-off series is set nearly a century before the original HBO series and approximately 70 years after the events of House of the Dragon.

The epic series, which takes its cue from George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas, is comprised of six half-hour episodes.

Here’s a look at when you can watch the final episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms after a recent schedule change due to the Super Bowl.

When does A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 6 come out?

In the UK, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode six – titled The Morrow – will be airing on Monday, February 23 at 3am GMT on Sky Atlantic and NOW.

The episode will then be available on NOW for those to watch on demand if they didn’t stay up in the early hours to watch the season one finale.

Sky Atlantic will then be repeating the episode at 9pm for those who didn’t stay up to watch the Transatlantic simulcast.

Meanwhile, in the USA, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode six will be on HBO on Sunday, February 22 at 10pm and will be available to watch on HBO Max.

What will happen in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode six?

HBO previously dropped a sneak peek at the forthcoming season one finale, which shows Ser Duncan ‘Dunk’ the Tall (played by Peter Claffey) talking to Ser Lyonel Baratheon (Daniel Ings) in the aftermath of the Trial of Seven.

Dunk feels deeply guilty for the death of Baelor ‘Breakspear’ Targaryen (Bertie Carvel) as the Targaryens conduct his funeral.

Valarr Targaryen (Oscar Morgan) says to a despondent Dunk: “He had it in him to be great king. Why would the god take him and leave you?”

Dunk responds: “I’ve wondered the same.”

The scene cuts to Maekar Targaryen (Sam Spruell) speaking to Dunk about how much his son Aegon ‘Egg’ Targaryen (Dexter Sol Ansell) wishes only to squire for him and no other knight.

However, it looks like Dunk doesn’t want any more to do with Egg after the fallout from the Trial of Seven and responds to Maekar: “I think I’m done with princes.”

The preview ends on an ambiguous note as Egg tells Dunk: “Maybe you’re not the knight I thought you were.”

Although the show might be coming to an end, season two is already in the works after HBO confirmed that it had renewed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for another outing.

The recommission was announced back in November 2025, even before the first episode had hit screens.

Along with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, House of the Dragon was renewed for season four ahead of its highly-anticipated third season premiere this June.

HBO executive Francesca Orsi said at the time: “We are thrilled to be able to deliver new seasons of these two series for the next three years, for the legion of fans of the Game of Thrones universe.

“Together, House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms reveal just how expansive and richly imagined George R. R. Martin’s universe continues to be.

“In January, I think audiences will be delighted by the inspiring underdog tale of Dunk and Egg that George and Ira Parker have so beautifully captured.

“And this Summer, House of the Dragon is set to ignite once again with some of its most epic battles yet.”

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ series finale will air on HBO Max and HBO in the USA tonight at 10PM ET and on NOW and Sky Atlantic tomorrow at 3am GMT

Knight of the Seven Kingdoms fans were left stunned by an unexpected death in episode five.

Knight of the Seven Kingdoms continues to surprise fans with the Game of Thrones’ prequel ending on a major cliffhanger this week.

WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Returning for episode five, entitled In the Name of the Mother, on Sky Atlantic and NOW, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms this week revolved around the dreaded Trial of Seven.

Depicted as a “man of the people”, Prince Baelor “Breakspear” Targaryen (played by Bertie Carvel) surprisingly chose to join Dunk’s (Peter Claffey) in a bid to protect his brother and nephews on the other side.

It was also his way of doing what was right and honorable and initially after the Trial of Seven, it appears that Baelor comes out unscathed.

But unfortunately for him and fans, Baelor didn’t have the happy ending that fans were hoping for.

The two Ser Humfreys Beesbury (Danny Collins) and Hardyng (Ross Anderson) were killed and the prince emerged among the victors after Dunk forced Aerion (Finn Bennett) to yield.

However, when Baelor does take off his helmet, it is revealed that the back of his head had been caved in by Maekar’s (Sam Spruell) mace.

Fans were hopeful that he would still survive but Baelor ultimately dies from his gruesome injuries, leaving his loved ones heartbroken.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, a distraught user wrote: “All of us at Baelor’s funeral,” followed by a crying emoji.

A second exclaimed: “Baelor take me with you,” as another stated: “Baelor Targaryen you will be missed by all.”

Someone else shared: “What I love the most about how A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms portrays Baelor is that he is not just this perfect man who’s inherently good, but rather his goodness and honor is A CHOICE he makes every time.

“One that he could choose differently, and it ultimately makes what he does choose have meaning.”

While a fellow viewer added: “Just want to give a huge round of applause to Bertie Carvel for his performance as Baelor Targaryen.

“He really brought to life one of the best Asoiaf characters.”

Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is available to watch on Sky Atlantic and NOW.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ showrunner has confessed cutting the scene feels like an error in retrospect.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms returns in just a few hours for its fifth and penultimate episode.

Ahead of episode 5 of the Game of Thrones spin-off, showrunner Ira Parker has admitted they decided to cut one scene that fans have argued is key to understanding the heart of the story.

It comes after one fan pointed out that the HBO and Sky Atlantic show hadn’t included a notable exchange between Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and Steely Pate (Youssef Kerkour) in the build-up to the fateful Trial by Seven from George RR Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas.

In the books, Dunk passes the Smallfolk on the way to the joust when he asks Pete “Why? Who am I to them?” before Pete replies: “A knight who remembers his vows.”

Posting in a Reddit AMA, the fan noted that many readers view this to be “the soul and the moral of the entire novella”, with showrunner Parker admitting he had some regret over cutting the scene from the original script.

“Honestly it was a mistake on my part,” he responded. “Not my first, not my last on this show. That scene was in the script at one point, then fell out.

“I agree that ‘a knight who remembers his vows’ is the soul of this story, but I think that is still very much at the core of the show, even if I stupidly left out this scene… it may not be said explicitly, but Dunk’s actions remain the same.”

Fans respected Parker’s refreshingly candid answer, with one observing: “It’s been so long since the last time i saw showrunner being able to admit they made a mistake.”

The Trial by Seven requires Dunk to find six other knights to battle the cruel Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett) after the hedge knight attacked the royal in order to save young actress Tanselle (Tanzyn Crawford) from his wrath.

HBO’s synopsis for episode 5 suggests we will get some insight into Dunk’s origins, as it reads: “Before Ser Duncan the Tall can learn the fate of his future, he must relive his past.”

The accompanying teaser also shows flashbacks to Dunk’s childhood and his friendship with a young girl, who tells him not to lose his nerve in following the path that lies ahead of them.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 5 airs on Monday, February 16 on Sky Atlantic and streaming platform NOW at 3am GMT.

The charming village is a haven for peace and tranquillity, with its idyllic surroundings and rich history, but what makes it so distinctive is its unique building designs

Nestled peacefully at the mouth of the River Dun, this delightful village brims with charm and tales aplenty, encircled by stunning natural beauty.

Cushendun boasts both a scenic harbour and a serene shoreline, courtesy of its prime position along the Northern Irish coast whilst being embraced by undulating agricultural hills. It creates the perfect retreat from life’s chaos, allowing visitors to lose themselves in nature’s splendour.

Indeed, one of its natural caverns proved so captivating it served as a filming venue for the HBO hit series, Game of Thrones. These crimson caves took shape over 400 million years ago but gained fame during series two of the show when they provided the setting for the notorious shadow assassin’s emergence.

After exploring the cave, one visitor noted in their review: “The area around the caves is absolutely beautiful. I found the caves to be fascinating. The walls were made up of giant round rocks and solid dirt. Make sure you wear shoes to walk to the caves.”

Throughout the village, guests will notice the idyllic cottages that lend it such serenity. Ronald John McNeill crafted the surrounding area in 1912, commissioned by Ronald John McNeill, Baron Cushendun, aiming to replicate a Cornish settlement.

Constructed in 18th century fashion, a neo-Georgian dwelling joined the collection and Cushendun evolved to appear as though it had been transplanted directly from Cornwall’s coastline.

Combined with its tranquil coastal setting, this enabled the town to achieve Conservation Area status in 1980. Today, the area remains largely under the stewardship of the National Trust, which has protected it since 1954.

The village’s distinctive Cornish character was crafted as a tribute to the Baron’s wife, who hailed from Penzance, Cornwall.

This devotion persisted beyond her death, when Ellis commissioned a terrace of whitewashed cottages specifically in her honour – now known as Maud’s Cottages.

One recent visitor declared it their new “favourite spot”. They posted on TripAdvisor: “I would live there in a heartbeat. It’s a special place in every way. The beach is beautiful and safe. The little houses are cute, and the village is filled with flowers and hanging baskets. We’ll be back.”

Another added: “Cushendun is probably the nicest small town/village on the coastal drive. It is set in a conservation area managed by the National Trust at the mouth of the Glendun river and attracts many visitors annually. Anyone travelling the Antrim Coast road northwards should make a point of reaching here for a break to enjoy the tranquillity.”
