Dunk and Egg TV series

oh fuck yes

 

Looks like they're also developing a Robert's Rebellion series

 

If they do this right it could be amazing, like really really good.

I think this is some of GRRM's best writing, I was very sad when it ended. Felt way too short. I wonder if they would take the series all the way thru the Tragedy of Summerhall, if the established material went well. They could definitely end it that way, with some type of look into the future.

 

More potential spin-offs

Summer of 24 for s2 of house of dragon? Wtf, mate

 

Doing Dunk and Egg is so dumb. It will run into the same issues GOT had. They're gonna run out of source material after 1 season, 2 at most. GRRM said it's supposed to be 9ish novellas. He's written 3 of them

 

I would argue that the problem with GOT wasn't simply running out of source material. it was a complete lack of ability by the people doing the show to continue the story. if you get the right people involved, they can use the first three books as a launchpad to tell their own story.

I can see if you say only GRRM should be telling stories in this world, but he can't finish one either.

 

Fair.

 

Sounds like he'll be dead from natural causes before he finishes all his material then

 

It’s official

Bad idea

 

I'll be watching

 

GRRM is a writer on the series. What an asshole.

 

His most recent blog post is really a sight to behold.

Mother fucker is out here signing off on another TV adaptation of a book series he hasn't finished but is very confident he will finish it before the series catches up to the books. I mean you can't even fake that level of irony.

 

I mean HBO has probably paid him 9 figures at this point. Why on earth would he ever write another book

 

GRRM is the Russel Wilson of the literary world.

 

I’ll take anything

 

Will this have Sir Duncan the Tall? I haven’t read all the books so I wasn’t sure. If not I just saw where HBO has ordered a prequel for this also.

 

Yeah that’s Dunk. That’s just what Egg calls him.

 

The other prequel series I believe that’s been green lit is Aegon the Conqueror.

 

A question like this should earn you another clout on the ear boy.

 

Many apologies!!!! I thought that it had to be because of Dunc and Egg. Just wasn’t sure! ‍♂️

 

Did we ever get casting for this?

 

No, I don't believe so. Saw somewhere they've released the directors/producers, but not the cast

 

these stories are so good, I hope they nail this. just thinking of the Trial of Seven and how cool of an episode it can be.

 

My concern is theyre gonna get past the source material pretty damn fast. Then we're having the same issues GOT did

 

feels like 3 seasons, 6 eps each would be a great place to start. after that, it could be a concern but that would take probably 5 years.

 

It's been so long since I've read these, but I had in my head that there was only a season's worth of content. Guess I need to revisit.

 

Wonder if they explore the Ser Dunk/Brienne connection

 

Looks about right

 

That’s some great casting.
