A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight spinoff was announced recently, and fans are speculating that it might potentially reveal details about the ending of House of the Dragon before HBO has the chance to conclude the series properly. Even though the production of the new spinoff has just begun, there is some concern among fans about potential major spoilers for House of the Dragon. So maybe we should be careful just in case.
House of the Dragon is a prequel to the famous Game of Thrones. It is based on George R. R. Martin's book Fire & Blood, and it focuses on House Targaryen and the predecessors of Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke). Now, it turns out that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight might be connected to House of the Dragon.

To say that people are excited about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight would definitely be an understatement. Reddit is now flooded with comments and expectations about the new release, and it's safe to say that most of them are positive.

People are hoping that it won't be difficult to follow A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight and House of the Dragon simultaneously since there will be annual seasons. In other words, it seems like every other year we will have alternating prequels that might cause some confusion in the community.
House Of The Dragon
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is based on George R. R. Martin's novella The Hedge Knight, and it is set around 100 years after the events of House of the Dragon. Logically, this would mean that the new spinoff definitely has the potential to reveal how the Targaryen war of succession will end. The show is scheduled to be released in 2025, and House of the Dragon Season 3 will drop around the same time.
Although A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight will be much different than House of the Dragon and will mostly focus on the politics of Westeros' great houses and kingdoms, fans can't help but get concerned about the possible spoilers that could come with the show. Some claim that in this situation, it will be extremely difficult to avoid revealing any details.

Game Of Thrones & House Of The Dragon
Apart from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight and its potential to spoil our fun when it comes to House of the Dragon, many are worried that Game of Thrones might have already ruined the ending. Aegon V Targaryen, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, was called Egg in his youth while he was serving as a squire - something that Maester Aemon also mentions.
Some people claim that even Joffrey and Shireen Baratheon spoil the outcome of everything we are expecting to see, but since we don't know what the producers have planned, we remain hopeful that nothing will be spoiled and we will get to enjoy an unexpected turn of events. Of course, when it comes to Game of Thrones and its spinoffs, the journey of the characters has always been the most important thing!
