“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is the top show on HBO Max right now. Based on George R. R. Martin’s “Tales of Dunk and Egg” novella series, the hotly anticipated “Game of Thrones” prequel takes place a century before the HBO staple, following the adventures of two unlikely heroes — Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey), and his young squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) — as they wander Westeros.
The cast also includes Daniel Ings, Bertie Carvel, Danny Webb, Sam Spruell, Shaun Thomas, Finn Bennett, Edward Ashley, Tanzyn Crawford, Henry Ashton, Youssef Kerkour, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and Daniel Monks.
“The Night Manager” is one of the top shows on Prime Video right now. The spy thriller follows ex-British soldier Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), the night manager of a Cairo hotel, who gets recruited to infiltrate dangerous arms dealer Richard Roper’s (Hugh Laurie) inner circle.
Season 2 — which premiered on Jan. 11, nearly a decade after the show’s debut — jumps forward eight years later, with Pine living under a new identity after thinking he’d “buried his past,” per the synopsis. “Then one night,” it adds, “a chance sighting of an old Roper mercenary prompts a call to action and leads Pine to a violent encounter with a new player: Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva).”
The show also stars Olivia Colman, Alistair Petrie, Douglas Hodge, Michael Nardone, Noah Jupe, Camila Morrone, Indira Varma, Paul Chahidi and Hayley Squires.
“Ponies” is one of the top shows currently trending on Peacock. Set in 1977 Moscow, the espionage thriller follows two “PONIES” (“persons of no interest”) working anonymously as secretaries at the American Embassy. That is, until their husbands die under “mysterious circumstances” in the Soviet Union, per the show’s synopsis. The two then become CIA operatives to “uncover a vast Cold War conspiracy and solve the mystery that made them widows in the first place.”
Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson lead the series, along with Adrian Lester, Artjom Gilz, Nicholas Podany, Petro Ninovskyi and Vic Michaelis.
