Fans Declare 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' the Best Series of the Year Following Finale
The television series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has concluded its first season with an emotional finale that left viewers in tears and sparked widespread acclaim. Based on George R. R. Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas, the six-part drama follows Ser Duncan the Tall, portrayed by Peter Claffey, and his young squire Egg, played by Dexter Sol Ansell. Set a century after the events of House of the Dragon, this Game of Thrones spin-off has resonated deeply with audiences.
Overwhelming Praise for the Final Episode
Fans took to social media to express their admiration for the finale, titled 'The Morrow'. One viewer on X declared it the 'best series of the year', while others described it as a masterpiece. Fred commented, 'The last episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was a masterpiece. I haven’t felt such strong emotion from a TV show since the Better Call Saul finale. Congrats to everyone involved.' Benedict added, 'A knight of the seven kingdoms was one of the best first seasons of TV I’ve ever seen. Absolute 10/10 finale.'
Alfred praised the episode as 'perfect', and Ali shared, 'Well, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 1 finale made me tear up… That was so beautiful. I love this show and story so much.' Even viewers unfamiliar with the source material were impressed; Mike noted, 'Season one absolutely blew me away. Really good finale. I can’t wait to see where they go from here.'
Mixed Reactions and Future Plans
While the majority of feedback was positive, some fans expressed disappointment. Gabe argued that it is 'illegal' that only six episodes were produced, and a Reddit user, Baapofmovies_123, felt the finale 'felt too short' despite its emotional depth. However, fans need not worry about the show's future, as HBO renewed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for a second season in November 2025.
In a recent interview on the Decider YouTube channel, Dexter Sol Ansell inadvertently revealed a major spoiler about the Battle of Summerhall, a pivotal event in Targaryen history. This leak has been described as an 'epic, epic spoiler', adding to the anticipation for upcoming seasons. The series is currently available to stream on Sky and Now.
