Just when we’d gotten accustomed to spending Sunday nights with Dunk and Egg, the first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms had the audacity to end. Thank the old gods and the new, a second season is currently in production—but in the meantime, HBO has shared a delightful blooper reel to help fill the void.
Our only complaint is that it’s a mere two minutes of goofballery, but the amount of Daniel Ings (as Ser Lyonel Baratheon) breaking character is more than acceptable. Also, if you weren’t crushing on Peter Claffey’s bumbling Dunk hard enough, this blooper reel showcasing his easy ability to guffaw at himself will no doubt push you over the edge.
And there’s more good news for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms fans: the complete first season is getting a physical release June 16, according to Nerdist. That should be right around the time House of the Dragon premieres its third season for added Westeros excitement.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Complete First Season is coming on Blu-ray, DVD, and UHD; in addition to all six episodes, it will include some fun bonus features, including the blooper reel. Others include behind-the-scenes featurettes “Building A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” and “Welcome to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”; the collected episodes of the web series “A Knight in the Making” as well as the weekly “Inside the Episode” videos; an Ashford Meadow set tour with Egg himself, Dexter Sol Ansell; and character spotlights on Dunk and Egg.
Basically, yes, it’s a lot of the stuff you can already see on YouTube, but gathered together with all the episodes in one handy package. And given the streaming world we live in, it’s always advisable to get physical copies of your favorite shows juuuust in case some corporate pen stroke makes them suddenly vanish from the streams.
