Series. From the world of Westeros comes a new half-hour original drama – an endearing tale that follows the unlikely adventures of an unexpected duo. Set a century before the events of Game of Thrones, the six-episode season follows two improbable heroes roaming Westeros: Ser Duncan the Tall, a brave but untested young knight, and his small but sharp-witted squire, Egg.
In an era when the Targaryens still rule from the Iron Throne and the memory of dragons has yet to fade, great destinies, formidable enemies, and perilous exploits await these mismatched yet inseparable companions.
Alannah Sue is a writer, editor, theatre critic and content creator with a passion for arts and culture and all that glitters. She relocated to Melbourne in 2025 after spending over a decade embedded in the Sydney arts landscape and finishing up her tenure as Arts & Culture Editor at Time Out. In addition to contributing to ArtsHub and ScreenHub, her freelance portfolio also expands to editorial and copywriting for lifestyle and arts publications such as Limelight and Urban List, cultural institutions like the Sydney Opera House, and marketing and publicity services for independent artists.
She is always keen to take a chance on weird performance art, theatre of all kinds, out-of-the-box exhibitions, queer venues, and cheap Prosecco. Give her half a chance, and she will get on a soapbox when it comes to topics like the magic of musical theatre, the importance of rigorous arts criticism, and the global cultural implications of the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise.
