HBO has released the first teaser trailer for the original half-hour drama series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, following a panel at New York Comic Con. 

From the world of Westeros comes an endearing tale centred on the adventures of an unexpected duo, and the first episode of the six-episode season will officially debut on Sunday, January 18 at 10 pm ET on HBO. It will also be available to stream on HBO Max, with new episodes debuting on subsequent Sundays.

This trailer offers Game of Thrones fans a better idea of what to expect from this era of Westeros history, and certainly looks like a fun diversion from what we're used to seeing from this fantasy franchise.

It's a little surprising to learn that each episode will only be 30 minutes, but that should make it an easy watch. There also isn't that much story to cover. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms adapts The Hedge Knight, meaning future seasons could cover The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight.

When this story begins, it's been 50 years since the death of the last dragon, but as showrunner Ira Parker recently told Entertainment Weekly, "that wasn't even much of a dragon. It was a sort of gnarled thing that it couldn't even fly. If you can't fly, what are you really? They’re just a fancy lizard."

"Nobody's thinking about magic," he added. "This could basically be 14th century Britain. This is hard nose, grind it out, gritty, medieval knights, cold with a really light, hopeful touch. It's a wonderful place to be. We are ground up in this series, we are starting right at the bottom. We're not with the lords and ladies, the kings and queens."

A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros...a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms features a cast led by Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan "Dunk" the Tall and Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg.

Joining them are Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonel Baratheon, Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen, Danny Webb as Ser Arlan of Pennytree, Sam Spruell as Maekar Targaryen, Shaun Thomas as Raymun Fossoway, Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen, Edward Ashley as Ser Steffon Fossoway, Tanzyn Crawford as Tanselle, Henry Ashton as Daeron Targaryen, Youssef Kerkour as Steely Pate, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor as Plummer, and Daniel Monks as Ser Manfred Dondarrion.

George R. R. Martin is Co-Creator/Executive Producer, with Ira Parker serving as Co-Creator/Showrunner/Executive Producer. Executive Producers include Sarah Bradshaw, Owen Harris, Ryan Condal and Vince Gerardis, while Owen Harris and Sarah Adina Smith direct.

This looks like it could be really good. I really like 'HOUSE OF THE DRAGON' and this has a lot of the same writing team.

@HashTagSwagg - you must have an awfully miserable life. All you done is come on here and complain and moan. Even sadder when you're literally the only comment here with that opinion while everyone else, across the world is praising the trailer.

Looks so good, hyped! People who hasn't read the novellas or graphic novels are going to be surprised how good this story is. By the trailer it's pretty spot on.
