A sequel series to Game of Thrones centered on Jon Snow is reportedly in development for HBO. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kit Harrington will reprise his role as the beloved character if the series moves forward. Harrington’s portrayal of Jon Snow earned him two Emmy nominations. The last time viewers saw the potential heir to the Iron Throne, he had been exiled from Westeros and journeyed North of the Wall with the Wildlings. While many fans were disappointed with this ending, Harrington believed it was a fitting end for Jon Snow. Regardless of one’s opinions of this controversial ending, it appears Jon Snow’s story continues in this Game of Thrones sequel series.
What to Expect From Jon Snow Series
Details of the Jon Snow sequel series to Game of Thrones have not been released. However, some theories suggest the possibility that Jon Snow could sit on the Iron Throne after all. Jon was revealed to be a Targaryen in the last season, which meant he was a potential heir to the throne. However, in the finale, he was exiled for killing his lover and aunt, Daenerys Targaryen. This was one of many controversial plotlines that angered Game of Thrones fans. The backlash was so intense that George R.R. Martin promised to end his books differently.
With this sequel series in development, Harrington may not be the only returning star of Game of Thrones. We may also see the return of Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright), Arya (Maisie Williams), Sansa (Sophie Turner), and more.
