Dexter Sol Ansell has checked off a major item on his bucket list: meeting Tom Holland and Zendaya.

The A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms star met up with the power couple during the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, September 14. He even snapped a picture with them at the venue, sharing it on his Instagram.

While on his way to the Emmys, the 11-year-old actor noted that he’s “really excited to meet Zendaya because, obviously, I love Spider-Man and she’s one of the main people in that.”

Ansell, who portrayed Egg in the hit Game of Thrones spinoff, also revealed that he wore Holland’s harness while filming a scene for season 2.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was nominated for the Outstanding Drama Series award at the 2026 Emmys, though it ultimately lost to The Pitt. Appearing on the red carpet before the event, Sol and his costar Peter Claffey, who plays Ser Duncan ‘Dunk’ the Tall, revealed that season 2 has finally wrapped up filming.

“Season two is finally finished,” Claffey, 30 told Entertainment Tonight. “It was the difficult, trickier second album. There’s a lot of things that went against us, with sets and weather and stuff like that. [Dexter] was amazing in it, better than he was in the first one, and I didn’t know that that was going to be possible.” 

Though no release date has been confirmed yet, fans can expect to re-join the adventures of Dunk and Egg during the first half of 2027.
