A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Cast Net Worths Revealed: Which Star Tops the Rich List?

HBO's back at it again, squeezing more juice from the Game of Thrones lemon—and honestly, they're not out of pulp yet. The latest offshoot is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which finally takes a swing at adapting George R. R. Martin’s 'Dunk and Egg' stories (well, starting with The Hedge Knight). If you’re wondering who’s actually on screen this time—not the dragons, the people—let’s lay it all out. There’s a mix of newcomers, award winners, and a couple of faces you might recognize if you squint hard enough. Fun fact: not one of these folks is a household name yet, though Bertie Carvel tops the money list, for what it’s worth. Here’s the breakdown, best to least rich, with every main player and what makes them interesting (or not).

Cast and Net Worths: Who’s Who (and Who’s Paid)

• Bertie Carvel (~$5 million) – Prince Baelor 'Breakspear' Targaryen
  The biggest wallet in the cast belongs to Bertie Carvel. He’s got two Olivier Awards on the mantel, a turn as Miss Trunchbull on stage (not a typo), and has played everyone from Tony Blair in The Crown to crime-solvers and newspaper tycoons on TV. In AKOTSK, he’s Prince Baelor, heir to the Iron Throne and all-around Hand of the King. I'd call him a supporting player, but he’s definitely top-dog for press releases.
• Daniel Ings (~$2 million, estimated) – Ser Lyonel Baratheon
  Daniel Ings has been everywhere, from The Crown to The Gentlemen to, yes, Lovesick (which is probably his 'most known' gig). Here he’s Ser Lyonel Baratheon, nicknamed 'The Laughing Storm'—which, if we’re honest, sounds like a rejected frat house. Still, he brings legit comedy chops.
• Peter Claffey (~$1–2 million) – Ser Duncan the Tall ('Dunk')
  Former rugby dude turned actor, Claffey gets to be the main character—a literal giant of a hedge knight with a heart of gold. He’s been busy since getting into acting: roles in Bad Sisters, Vikings: Valhalla, Wreck, and even some stage cred. Not bad for a guy still new to the IMDB game.
• Finn Bennett (~$1 million) – Prince Aerion 'Brightflame' Targaryen
  If you watched True Detective: Night Country, you’ll recognize Bennett. Here, he’s playing what I’ll call 'the difficult Targaryen brother.' He’s won some industry awards and got noticed at Cannes—a rising star for sure.
• Steve Wall (unknown) – Lord Leo 'Longthorn' Tyrell
  Wall isn’t just any actor—he’s also a musician who helped found not one but two bands, The Stunning and The Walls. You might have seen him in Vikings, The Witcher, or The English. Here, he’s Highgarden’s top dog.
• Youssef Kerkour (unknown) – Steely Pate
  Kerkour’s claim to fame (so far) was an award-nominated run as Sami the refugee in Home. In this show, he’s a blacksmith from the Reach, which probably means less dialogue and more hammering. Keep an eye on him, though—he’s got range.
• Sam Spruell (unknown) – Prince Maekar Targaryen
  Spruell’s played a bunch of bad guys in movies like The Hurt Locker and Defiance. Here, he’s the intense Targaryen uncle/father, depending on the family tree.
• Ross Anderson (unknown) – Ser Humfrey Hardyng
  Scottish actor, trained on British TV, spotted in films like Macbeth and Crawl. Not household-name level yet, but he’s worked with the best of them.
• Danny Collins (unknown) – Ser Humfrey Beesbury
  Collins is a bit of a wildcard. Best known for performing in Cats (the movie version, not the meme), plus some internet comedy content. Now he’s a knight. The GoT universe is weird sometimes.
• Edward Ashley (unknown) – Ser Steffon Fossoway
  He’s been in everything from The Lost City of Z and The Terror to Sense8. Here, he’s a knight with more lines than you’d guess.
• Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (unknown) – Plummer (Steward of Ashford)
  Irish actor with real range—you probably know him as the villain Ebony Maw in Avengers: Infinity War (the creepy space wizard). On this show, he’s the steward at the main tourney location.
• Daniel Monks (unknown) – Ser Manfred Dondarrion
  Australian talent Monks wrote, starred in, and produced the well-regarded film Pulse (earning some major award nods). Onstage, he’s already got acting awards. Not many know him yet, but critics do.
• Henry Ashton (unknown) – Prince Daeron 'The Drunken' Targaryen
  Ashton might be a new face for GoT fans, but he’s racked up roles in shows like My Lady Jane and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. Playing one of the Targaryen messes.
• Danny Webb (unknown) – Ser Arlan of Pennytree
  Webb’s a veteran – recognizable to genre fans from Alien 3 and Doctor Who. Here, he’s Dunk’s tough, battle-worn mentor.
• Tanzyn Crawford (unknown) – Tanselle
  Crawford’s just getting started, but was already part of Servant and Tiny Beautiful Things. Plays a Dornish puppeteer, which is about as deep-cut as Westeros gets.
• Shaun Thomas (unknown) – Raymun Fossoway
  If you watched The Selfish Giant, you saw Thomas win and get nominated for big awards. He’s also in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. Playing a squire here.
• Dexter Sol Ansell (unknown) – Prince Aegon Targaryen ('Egg')
  Yes, 'Egg' from the books is played by an actual kid: 11-year-old Dexter Sol Ansell. He’s been popping up in British TV and even in the Hunger Games prequel. His net worth? Let’s just say the HBO contract probably bought a lot of Legos.

If you want it all in one spot, here’s the summary: Bertie Carvel is the richest, most of these actors keep their bank info secret, and a few of them are about to ride the GoT hype-train to bigger paychecks. If you’re bored with familiar faces, this casting is a breath of fresh air — but if you want red carpet A-listers, maybe lower those expectations.

Details You Might Have Missed

- A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms launched on HBO on January 18, 2026.
- Six episodes for season one; a second season was greenlit in November 2025, before the first even premiered (someone at HBO is feeling confident).
- The show is set long before the main series, following lowborn knight Ser Duncan and young Aegon Targaryen on their less-bloody, more-adventurous road trip through Westeros.

'Breakspear is such a fascinating character for me—he’s strong, but not flashy. I love playing men who have conflict bubbling right under the surface.' — Bertie Carvel (interviewed about his role)

A few footnotes for the detail-obsessed: A number of these actors delivered award-nominated performances in indie films and TV before getting their GoT badges; some are total unknowns. The production, meanwhile, made a point to cast folks who haven’t already been killed in other corners of Westeros.

So that’s your cheat sheet for the cast of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. If you’re only here for the swords-and-gore, the resumes might not thrill you, but come back in a year—half these actors will be household names.

The question now: will this spin-off finally restore the magic—or is it destined to be 'also ran' in the GoT marathon? You can probably guess my bets, but either way, the cast (and their agents) are hoping for the former.
