A couple of years ago, this was revealed Kit Harington was developing a game of Thrones spin-off series focusing on Jon Snow. The actor has now offered an update on the project and it is no longer in development.
During an interview with ScreenRant, the actor said that the team “couldn’t find the right story to tell,” so the project is no longer in active development. It’s “out of the question.”
He said: “I had never talked about it, because it was in development. I didn’t want it to leak out that she was in development. I didn’t want a thing to happen where people start theorizing and getting excited or hating the idea, when it might never happen. Because in development you look at every angle and see if it’s worth it.
He continued: “And currently it isn’t. At the moment, that’s out of the question, because we all couldn’t find the right story to tell that we were excited enough about. So, for the moment, we have decided to equip ourselves with tools. There may be a time in the future when we go back to doing that, but not at the moment. She is firmly on the shelf.”
Author George R. R. Martin is the person who originally confirmed that the series was in development by saying, “It was Kit Harrington who brought us the idea. I can’t tell you the names of the writers/showrunners, since they haven’t been cleared for release yet, but Kit brought them along too, his team, and they’re amazing.
In the final season of game of Thrones, Snow has discovered his true identity as Aegon Targaryen and could be an heir to the Iron Throne. At the end of the series he was exiled from Westeros and traveled to the Haunted Forest, north of the Wall, with Ghost and the Wildlings to start a new life.
I’m perfectly fine with this series because I’ve never seen Jon Snow as an interesting character. There are two other spin-offs in the works right now, including the second season of House of the Dragon and the imminent A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Knight Errantwhich is about to enter production.
