HBO released a first-look photo of Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall, or "Dunk," a renowned warrior and ally to King Aegon V Targaryen.
Fans will be recognize some key surnames from the universe, from Ser Lyonel Baratheon (played by Daniel Ings of "Lovesick") to multiple Targaryens, including Aerion (played by Finn Bennett of "True Detective") and Baelor Targaryen (played by Bertie Carvel).
Martin, who co-created the original series, will write and executive produce the spin-off show alongside Ira Parker.
