So here we are, staring down the barrel of another Game of Thrones prequel bangin’ on our doorsteps, yet Sophie Turner—the very Sansa Stark who held the Iron Throne of our hearts for eight seasons—is waving the “no thanks” flag on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Now, if Mercury retrograde had anything to do with this, I’m not surprised—because Sophie’s not just dodging dragons; she’s dodging what she calls “crazy anxiety” whenever the iconic theme music kicks in. Can you blame her? After living through Westeros chaos firsthand, who wouldn’t need a break from that haunted tune? Still, she’s sending good vibes across the sea of fans and actors involved in the new series, a heartfelt rooting without the binge. Meanwhile, this spin-off dives into the Dunk and Egg tales, a story set a hundred years before the familiar Game of Thrones madness—with a penchant for knightly shenanigans and young squires finding their way. It’s a fresh breeze in a world full of dragon fire and tangled family trees—just what the zodiac might recommend for Aries energy looking for something a little different. Curious about why Sophie’s heart pulls away from the screen while her spirit cheers from the sidelines? Dive deeper into her candid confession and the new series’ charm right here. LEARN MORE
There’s a new Game of Thrones series on the block, but one franchise veteran won’t be watching the show. Sophie Turner played Sansa Stark throughout all eight seasons of the iconic fantasy series, but she’s not in any rush to watch A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
While on the red carpet for the premiere of her new Amazon Prime thriller series Steal, Turner was asked if she would be watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
“If I’m totally honest, anything Game of Thrones, I don’t think I can… I can’t even hear the theme tune,” Turner explained. “It gives me like… crazy anxiety. I don’t know why. I had the best time on that show, but I can’t watch anything related to it.“
She continued, “But I’m really excited for all the actors on it, and I think it will probably be incredible because it is that universe. So, good luck to everyone involved. I won’t be watching it, but I’ll be rooting for you.“
Based on the Dunk and Egg novellas by George R.R. Martin, the series takes place nearly a hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones. It follows Dunk (Peter Claffey), a squire who takes on the mantle of Ser Duncan the Tall when he takes the armour of a dead knight. Dunk is followed by Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), a young boy who serves as his squire and accompanies him on his misadventures.
Our own Alex Maidy enjoyed the series, particularly as it offered something different from Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. “As much as I love watching dragon battles and weird familial drama, this series never feels inconsequential despite deviating from the core elements of the aforementioned shows,” he wrote. “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is an exciting and enjoyable story for those who have read Tales of Dunk and Egg and know where this story leads. Ira Parker and HBO could have elected to make this into a single film, but the episodic structure still works to keep audiences coming back to find out where this story will go. A welcome addition to the world of Game of Thrones that does something different from what we have seen before.” You can check out the rest of his review right here.
