A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 4 Tops House of the Dragon on IMDb

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 4 has earned a 9.7 fan rating on IMDb, a score higher than any episode of House of the Dragon. Four of six episodes in the first season have aired so far. The series narrows its focus to two characters: newly appointed hedge knight Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg, who is Aegon Targaryen.

The first season unfolds over several days as Duncan seeks entry to a tourney and then stands trial for assaulting a Targaryen prince after defending a young woman. Set between Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, the show has been praised for its smaller-scale storytelling.

George R.R. Martin’s relationship with House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal has been described as poor, but that has not been the case with this spin-off. The series premiered January 18, 2026, on HBO. Ira Parker serves as showrunner; Owen Harris directed episodes, writing credits include George R.
