Oct. 9 (UPI) -- HBO is giving a glimpse of the new series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
The network shared a first teaser trailer for the show Thursday at New York City Comic Con.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas by George R.R. Martin. The fantasy drama takes place in the world of Game of Thrones, about 100 years before that HBO series.
Thursday's preview introduces viewers to Dunk and Egg: a hedge knight named Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his squire (Dexter Sol). Dunk, who dreams of becoming "a good knight" who defends the weak and the innocent, is tasked with accompanying Egg on his journey.
