George said that the show was “done.”
“Ira [Parker, the showrunner] and his team wrapped the first season months ago, and moved right on to post production. I’ve seen all six episodes now (the last two in rough cuts, admittedly), and I loved them,” he gushed. “Dunk and Egg have always been favorites of mine, and the actors we found to portray them are just incredible. The rest of the cast are terrific as well. Wait until you guys meet the Laughing Storm. and Tanselle Too-Tall.”
The author noted that the show would be “as faithful [an] adaptation [of the novella] as a reasonable man could hope for.”
“Viewers who are looking for action, and more action, and only action… well, this one may not satisfy you. There’s a huge fight scene here, as exciting as anyone could ask for, but there are no dragons this time around, no huge battles, no white walkers… this is a character piece, and its focus is on duty and honor, on chivalry and all it means,” he said.
He could not say for sure when A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms would premiere, writing, “maybe in the fall.”
“I hope you will love the show as much as I do,” George added, noting that they were already moving on to turn the novella The Sworn Sword into a show.
