Jon Snow’s canceled show may not be dead yet! Actor Kit Harington has given fans enough reason to believe that the proposed sequel series set in the “Game of Thrones” universe could still return if the creative team finds the right story to tell.Speaking during a panel discussion at Motor City Comic Con, Harington admitted that attempts were made to develop a spin-off show, but the creative team ultimately decided to pause the series.“It’s common knowledge that we tried to do a show for Jon Snow for a while, and we couldn’t. The main thing for me was not wanting to go there and do an injustice through the character,” Harington said, according to ScreenRant.Reflecting on his character’s ship in Game of Thrones, the actor said: “I think it ended well.
I think it went where it was supposed to go. So, if I take him again, it has to be for the right reasons.”Explaining the reason behind dropping the initial series, the actor explained that the team struggled to find a compelling enough story to move forward. “We couldn’t find the right thing. So we left it. For now. Maybe there will be a time… You know, it’s not dead, and that’s the amazing thing, is that it can be picked up again,” Harington told the portal.
The update comes more than two years after the project was shelved in 2024. The original fantasy drama, inspired by the works of George R.R. Martin, concluded in 2019.Despite the mixed reaction to its ending, HBO has continued to expand the Westeros franchise with spinoffs like “House of the Dragon” and “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.” The team also announced live-action shows in development that include “Aegon’s Conquest” and “10,000 Ships.”Animated shows in development also include “The Sea Snake (Nine Voyages).”
