The next Game of Thrones spinoff might have a new title by the time it hits HBO.

In a new blog post, author George R. R. Martin wrote about his experience visiting the set of A Knight of the Seven Kingdomshis next fantasy series at HBO. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is an adaptation of The Hedge Knight, the first novella in Martin’s series Tales of Dunk and Egg. HBO has been advertising the series as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. However, Martin suggested that the name could change.

“It’s [A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms] an adaptation of The Hedge Knight, the first of my Dunk & Egg stories. There were two more after that, The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight,” Martin wrote on Not a Blog. “They have all been collected in a book called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. That’s probably going to be the title of the show as well … unless we go with The Hedge Knight. That’s still under discussion.”

Set about 100 years before the events in Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms follows the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey), a courageous knight, and Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), a small squire.

Regardless of the title, the series should arrive in 2025, per HBO. When exactly in 2025 is still undecided.

“Filming wrapped not long ago, and [showrunner] Ira Parker and his team are now in post, looking toward a debut sometime next year,” Martin added. “Spring, I am hoping, but that’s just a guess, no date has been set yet.”

The series will consist of six episodes. Despite the drama over the title, Martin has seen a rough cut of the first episode and “loved it.”

Everything leaving Hulu in November 2024
Karen Gillan and Aaron Paul and Karen Gillan in Dual.

There's very good news for Hulu fans if you're concerned about the movies and TV shows leaving the streamer in November. For the most part, Hulu isn't losing much content at all in the penultimate month of 2024. That means more bang for your subscriber buck, which is good because prices went up recently. Get used to that yearly trend.

Throughout November, there are a handful of indie movies to check out from Hulu, including Dual, Terminal, and I Kill Giants. I've never seen The Man Who Killed Hitler and then the Bigfoot, which is another one of the exiting titles. If a film is audacious enough to have that name, then the main character better freakin' kill Hitler and then Bigfoot, in that order.

What’s new on Paramount+ in November 2024
Billy Bob Thornton in Landman.

Paramount+ may have launched Taylor Sheridan's Lioness season 2 at the end of October, but it also has a new Sheridan-created series coming in November as well. Like many of Sheridan's recent shows, Landman boasts an impressive cast that includes Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Andy Garcia, Michael Peña, and more. But instead of focusing on the drama surrounding ranching like Yellowstone, Landman is shifting the focus to an oil company in Texas.

Showtime is also dropping a prominent new original series, The Agency, which features Michael Fassbender as a CIA operative named Martin who tries to figure out his identity after spending years on an undercover assignment. But only Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers can stream The Agency. And that's true of a lot of the latest movie additions as well. Showtime tends to get the A-list titles, and Paramount+'s lower tiers get everything else.
