- Ira Parker said Martin specifically requested that the show leave Dunk’s formal knighthood unresolved.
- The final episode’s flashback was built to support either conclusion without providing confirmation.
- The adaptation mirrors the Dunk & Egg novellas, which never definitively answer the question.
- Parker framed the ambiguity as central to examining whether knighthood comes from ceremony or conduct.
- Season 2 is expected to adapt The Sworn Sword for a 2027 release, and actor Sam Spruell said he will not return next season.
