The Hedge Knight follows two unlikely heroes who wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.
Peter Claffey will play Drunk and Dexter Sol Ansell will play Egg.
You might recognize Peter from his work in the Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters or the BBC Three horror comedy show Wrecked. Dexter, 9, most recently played Young Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
