If you were holding out hope for winter to make another appearance with Jon Snow at the helm in a ‘Game of Thrones’ sequel series, Kit Harington has some disappointing news. The actor has recently dismissed the possibility of such a project.
Speaking with The Associated Press on Tuesday, while promoting his new movie “Blood for Dust,” Harington stated, “There are no plans for it at the moment. It’s off the table for the foreseeable,” indicating that fans shouldn’t expect to see a continuation of Jon Snow’s story anytime soon.
Since ‘Game of Thrones’ concluded in 2019 following its eighth season, there has been much speculation about potential spinoff series. While viewers have experienced the ‘Game of Thrones’ universe in the form of ‘House of the Dragon’, the prequel set two hundred years prior, a sequel following the journey of Jon Snow was rumored but is now seemingly not in the cards.
“We sort of threw around a few ideas. Nothing really stuck, and we’re going to leave it there for the moment,” Harington, age 37, explained.
An HBO spokesperson chose not to comment on the matter to the AP.
A different prequel that was set thousands of years before the original series, featuring Naomi Watts and with a pilot already filmed, was also scrapped in 2019 by HBO.
Meanwhile, Harington has other projects brewing, including a return to HBO for an appearance on the drama series “Industry” in its upcoming third season. He voiced his excitement about the project, praising it for its uniqueness and engaging tone.
As for ‘Game of Thrones’ fans still eager for content, they can anticipate the second season of ‘House of the Dragon’ slated for a June 16 release, and the announced prequel ‘Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight’, set a century before the events of ‘Game of Thrones’.
