St. Catharines’s own Ira Parker created A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Game of Thrones is known for its complex story arcs, violent political conflicts and its big ensemble cast. But a new prequel, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, is leaning into humour and putting a focus on the charming duo at the centre of the story. Canadian screenwriter Ira Parker created the show with author George R. R. Martin. He joins guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about how he created the new series and how he went from shooting films in his dad’s warehouse in St. Catharines, Ontario to making an emotional TV series in Hollywood.
