House of the Dragon season 2 came to a rather somber conclusion last Sunday, August 4. There’s a long wait before the next season arrives, but fans have a brand new spin-off, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to look forward to!
This show is set 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones and tells the story of Ser Duncan the Tall, a.k.a. Dunk, a former squire who becomes a Knight in his own right and his new squire Egg, who’s likely connected to House Targaryen. The timeline of HOTD and the new spin-off is more than a century apart but a common name was featured in the cast announcement.
Edward Ashley will play Ser Steffon Fossoway, Youssef Kerkour will play Steely Pate, Shaun Thomas will play Raymun Fossoway, Daniel Monks will play Ser Manfred Dondarrion, Danny Webb will play Ser Arlan of Pennytree and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor will play Plummer, and Henry Ashton will play Daeron Targaryen.
Those who followed the second season of the spin-off based on the Targaryen civil war will recognize Daeron Targaryen, the dragon rider—deemed to be a key player in Dance of the Dragons.
However, there’s neither any mix-up with the names nor will Henry Asthon appear in HOTD season 3. The confusion was caused because names are repeated through multiple generations in the Targaryen household. Simply put, Daeron Targaryen on both shows are two different characters with no interconnection besides their name. The actor set to play Daeron in season 3 is yet to be unveiled.
Peter Claffey will portray the role of Dunk who squires for a hedge knight and takes up his possession after his death. Dexter Sol Ansell will play his young squire Egg in the six-episode series executive-produced by Ira Parker and Martin, under the guidance of House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal.
According to Condal’s statement to Entertainment Weekly, the latest spin-off will focus on the perils of the small folks, especially during times of war. “Dunk and Egg is about the small folk who suffer at the hands of the game of thrones as it’s played by the nobles,” Condal said.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will premiere on 15 June 2025.
Taapsee Pannu is back with the sequel to the 2021 romantic thriller film, Haseen Dillruba. Helmed by Jayprad Desai, Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba is all set to release on August 9, 2024. But before the audience can finally enjoy the movie in theatres, the team hosted a star-studded screening of it in Mumbai.
The lead actress of the movie, Taapsee Pannu made a head-turning at the event. For the special night, she went in a black floor-length dress. Her attire also featured a red cloth attached to her dress with a huge red rose. Keeping her makeup dewy with kohl-rimmed eyes and nude lips, she tied her hair in a high ponytail.
She was joined by her co-star, Vikrant Massey, and Sunny Kaushal. While the 12th Fail actor decided to go with a beige suit with a white shirt and brown striped tie, the Shiddat actor looked dapper in an all-black outfit. While Pannu will be reprising her role as Rani Saxena, Massey portrays Rishabh Saxena. Sunny, on the other hand, is seen in the role of Abhimanyu.

Vicky Kaushal attended the event to show his support for his brother, Sunny. The Masaan star came dressed casually for the premiere. He donned a black hoodie with a pair of blue denim and white sneakers. At the Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba event, the actor brothers posed with their parents, father Sham Kaushal and mom Veena Kaushal.

They were joined by the gorgeous diva of the Indian film industry, actress Dia Mirza. She came dressed in an easy-breezy, flowy blue dress and paired it with high heels and a sling bag. The mommy dearest kept her makeup subtle and left her hair open.
Then arrived actor Aparshakti Khurana, known for movies like Stree, Luka Chuppi, Pati Patni Aur Woh, and more. The brother of ace artist Ayushmann Khurrana sported a pair of blue pants with a matching shirt over a white tee which he coordinated with his sneakers. With a bright smile, he posed at the event.
He was greeted by his Stree co-star, actor Abhishek Banerjee. Unlike his image of a simple village boy in his movies, he looked stylish in a black shirt. The Bhediya actor paired it with brown wide-legged pants and that went perfectly with his colorful eyewear and shoes.
