Washington [US]: Actors Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell have been cast as the leads in the 'Game of Thrones' prequel series 'Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight', as per The Hollywood Reporter.
The description of the project reads,"A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros ... a young, naive but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall (Claffey), and his diminutive squire, Egg (Ansell). 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."
The project is written by George R.R. Martin and Ira Parker. They are also the executive producers including Ryan Condal, Vince Gerardis, Owen Harris and Sarah Bradshaw.
