GameOfThrones author George R.R. Martin breaks his silence on the in-development Jon Snow sequel series, confirming its existence and revealing the true extent of Kit Harington's involvement.
Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin has confirmed the development of a Jon Snow sequel series exploring his life beyond The Wall after the destruction of the Iron Throne. Martin has worked with HBO to develop several other new titles set within the fantasy world of Westeros, including this year's highly anticipated House of the Dragon.
Last week, news broke that HBO is working on a new Game of Thrones series revolving around Kit Harington's Jon Snow. Few details about the plot have been revealed, though it has been assumed that it will pick up with Jon following his banishment from Westeros. Harington is attached to return should the Game of Thrones spinoff move forward. The news sparked surprise and intrigue online, and since then, a handful of those associated with Westeros have commented on the project.
"It was Kit Harrington 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... Outlines and treatments have been written and approved, scripts have been written, notes have been given, second and third drafts have been written. So far, that’s all.
Continuing Jon's Game of Thrones story past its controversial series finale is a risky, but fascinating move. Game of Thrones earned an almost infamous reputation for the way the series ended, splitting audiences down the middle with praise and hate. A sequel gives HBO the opportunity to amend past mistakes and forge a new path for Jon Snow beyond The Wall.
The confirmation from Martin does not mean the Jon Snow project is officially HBO's next spinoff series. However, it does create some encouraging public support for the concept and will increase conversations about Snow throughout the media. The more attention the project receives now could influence HBO one way or the other, giving Harington and his team a chance at exploring Jon Snow's life after Westeros.
