Viewers praised A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms as the ‘best series of the year’ after being wowed by the ‘masterpiece’ finale.
The six-part HBO fantasy drama is a prequel to Game Of Thrones, set a century prior to the worldwide phenomenon.
It follows hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall – ‘Dunk’ (Peter Claffey) and his young squire Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell).
Following the finale, titled ‘The Morrow’, fans were left very impressed and moved by the poignant ending.
One wrote on X: ‘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.’
Another described the programme as the ‘best series of the year’.
A third penned: ‘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.’
A fourth chimed in: ‘A knight of the seven kingdoms was one of the best first seasons of TV I’ve ever seen. Absolute 10/10 finale.’
While a fifth added: ‘Season one absolutely blew me away. Really good finale. I can’t wait to see where they go from here.’
The final episode highlighted the aftermath of the Trial of Seven battle.
Furthermore, the late Baelor’s brother, Prince Maekar “The Anvil” Targaryen (Sam Spruell), offers Dunk to remain at Summerhall and train Egg.
Dunk declines and later suggests Maekar allow Egg to accompany him as a hedge knight as he embarks on his travels.
But Maekar refuses this, so Dunk leaves to start his next journey — only for Egg to tag along anyway, claiming to Dunk that his father allowed him to go
It comes as the show’s stars dropped a ‘massive spoiler’ about future events while taking part in an interview.
Actors Peter, 29, and Dexter, 11, featured in an interview on the Decider YouTube channel.
The host asked the pair about their characters’ futures – and whether they are familiar with the word ‘Summerhall.’
Dexter replied: ‘Yes, we have. I don’t know about Peter, but I do know a bit about when Egg is trying to make dragons in the summer hall, and then there is a huge fire.’
To which Peter interjected: ‘We don’t know if that’s exactly what happens.’
However, Dexter added: ‘But we do know that Dunk survives’, as his co-star made a ‘cut’ gesture to the camera.
Peter continued: ‘‘We don’t know if that exactly happens, let’s just get this season one out of the way.’
Reacting to the clip online, one viewer wrote: ‘This is genuinely the biggest lore drop we’ve had in years lmao.’
Another commented: ‘Dexter just casually spoiling the future seasons of the story.’
A third remarked: ‘This is a massive spoiler I can’t believe they didn’t edit this out lol.’
A fourth chimed in: ‘This is an epic, epic spoiler and I am shooketh.’
Summerhall refers to the Tragedy at Summerhall, a part of the Targaryen family history that is shrouded in mystery.
Fans of George RR Martin’s books – A Song of Ice and Fire – had known it marked the end of Aegon V’s name – with the family never regaining its numbers.
It is believed the Targaryen summer castle was destroyed in a fire, which saw the deaths of King Aegon V, his son Prince Duncan and Ser Duncan the Tall.
A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms airs on Sky Atlantic and is available to stream on NOW.
