Kit Harington’s Game of Thrones spinoff series following his character, Jon Snow, has been torched.
Shortly before the August 2022 premiere of prequel House of the Dragon, news broke that HBO was working on a GoT sequel series about Jon Snow with Harington set to reprise his role as the former Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch.
George R.R. Martin, who wrote the books on which GoT was based, confirmed the news in June 2022. “Yes, there is a Jon Snow show in development,” the Song of Ice and Fire author wrote on his blog at the time. “Yes, it was Kit Harrington [sic] who brought the idea to us. I cannot tell you the names of the writers/showrunners, since that has not been cleared for release yet … but Kit brought them in too, his own team, and they are terrific.”
From our partners:
Harington played Jon Snow throughout GoT‘s entire run from April 2011 to May 2019, appearing in nearly every episode of the show. Initially believed to be the illegitimate son of Ned Stark (Sean Bean), it was revealed Jon was the son of Ned’s Lyanna Stark (Aisling Franciosi) and Rhaegar Targaryen (Wilf Scolding), making him the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.
Two years after the show’s announcement, Harington revealed in April 2024 that the project was no longer in development.
