Series Like 'A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms': While the sprawling political wars of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon focus on the high seats of power, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026) won hearts by shrinking the lens. It’s a series that prioritises honour, the bond between a knight and his squire, and the gritty, "mud and blood" reality of travelling the countryside. This shift toward a more intimate, character-driven fantasy has left fans craving stories that balance high-stakes world-building with grounded, personal journeys. If you’re looking for that same blend of chivalry, atmosphere, and localised adventure, these five series are your next essential binges.
If the "hedge knight" lifestyle of Ser Duncan appealed to you, The Last Kingdom is the perfect match. It follows Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a warrior torn between his Saxon birth and Viking upbringing. Like Dunk, Uhtred is a formidable fighter navigating a land where kings are often untrustworthy and personal oaths are everything. It trades dragons for visceral, historical shield-wall battles and a deeply moving protagonist arc.

While later seasons go "full epic," the early episodes of The Witcher mirror the episodic, wandering nature of Dunk and Egg. Geralt of Rivia travels from town to town, taking on localised "contracts" that often turn into complex moral dilemmas. The dynamic between the stoic Geralt and the talkative bard Jaskier provides a similar (albeit more adult) banter to the chemistry between Dunk and his squire.

For those who loved the internal politics and the "outsider entering a rigid social hierarchy" aspect of The Hedge Knight, Shōgun is a masterpiece. Set in feudal Japan, it follows an English navigator thrust into a world of strict codes of honour and deadly samurai politics. The production value and attention to historical detail rival anything in the Westeros franchise.

If you enjoyed the "travelling across a dangerous land" vibe, The Wheel of Time offers a more magical take. It centres on a group of young villagers escorted by a powerful protector (Moiraine) across a world on the brink of collapse. While the magic is more prominent here than in Dunk and Egg, the focus on the "found family" on the road feels very familiar.

For a lighter, more adventurous tone that captures the "knight and unlikely companion" trope, the Willow sequel series (and the original film) is a great choice. It leans into the classic quest format, focusing on a ragtag group of heroes who aren't the high lords of the realm, but rather the underdogs trying to do the right thing against impossible odds.
