A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms Episode 4 Release: HBO’s return to the world of Westeros comes with a refreshing twist in A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, a series that explores the fantasy universe years before Game Of Thrones. Instead of grand wars and political power struggles, the show leans into a quieter and more emotional narrative, focusing on personal journeys and human connections.
Based on George R. R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg, A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms follows two very different travellers whose paths cross unexpectedly. As they move from one part of the realm to another, the story highlights values like friendship, loyalty, and honour.
As excitement continues to build, fans are now counting down to Episode 4. Audiences in India, in particular, are keen to know when the next episode will release, where it can be streamed, and what obstacles Dunk and Egg will face in the next chapter of their journey. Interestingly, the fourth episode is arriving sooner than expected.
A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS: KEY DETAILS ABOUT THE NEW GAME OF THRONES PREQUEL
Set during the early phase of Targaryen rule, A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms takes place nearly 100 years after House Of The Dragon and about a century before Game Of Thrones. Although dragons are no longer seen in the skies, the Targaryens continue to rule the Seven Kingdoms, and their influence is felt in every corner of the realm.
The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall, played by Peter Claffey, a knight who rises not from noble blood but from sheer determination and integrity. Duncan believes strongly in honour and fairness, often relying on courage rather than status. Alongside him is his sharp-minded young squire, Egg, portrayed by Dexter Sol Ansell. As the two travel across Westeros, their bond grows stronger while they face the harsh realities of life under royal authority.
Rather than rushing into large-scale conflicts, the series focuses on character-driven storytelling. Duncan and Egg’s journey eventually brings them to a major royal tournament, where they cross paths with influential Targaryens such as Prince Aerion, Prince Baelor, and Prince Maekar. These encounters slowly draw them into political trouble that threatens to change their lives forever.
Adding depth to the narrative is a strong ensemble cast featuring Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, Daniel Ings, Tanzyn Crawford, and Sam Spruell, making A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms a fresh yet meaningful addition to the Game of Thrones universe.
A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS EPISODE 4 RELEASE TIME IN INDIA: HERE’S WHEN TO WATCH ON JIO HOTSTAR
HBO has confirmed a schedule change for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 4. Unlike its regular Sunday night slot, the upcoming episode will stream earlier than expected.

WHY IS A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS EPISODE 4 BEING RELEASED EARLY? CHECK REASON
The early release of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 4 is a strategic move by HBO to avoid clashing with Super Bowl LX, which will take place on Sunday, February 8. With millions of viewers tuning into the major sporting event, HBO has chosen to stream the episode earlier to ensure the series doesn’t lose attention during its usual Sunday night slot.
That said, viewers who prefer sticking to the traditional schedule won’t miss out. Episode 4 will still air on television at its regular 10:00 PM ET slot on Sunday, February 8, alongside its early streaming release.
From next week onward, the series will return to its normal schedule. Episode 5 is set to air on February 15 (February 16 in India).
