Kit Harington is creating a brand new Game of Thrones spinoff present for HBO centered on his character Jon Snow, and whereas we await new particulars about it, the actor has mentioned the character in a unique mild. At the Game of Thrones conference this weekend, Harington mentioned Snow “got off lightly” on the finish of Game of Thrones after killing Daenerys and being banished to the Wall within the North.
“I think if you asked him, he would’ve felt he got off lightly,” the actor mentioned, in accordance with Entertainment Weekly. “At the end of the show when we find him in that cell, he’s preparing to be beheaded and he wants to be. He’s done. The fact he goes to the Wall is the greatest gift and also the greatest curse.”
Harington mentioned the primary Game of Thrones present ended Snow’s character arc with Snow feeling “not okay.” He has loads to ponder, and this might arrange fodder for the Snow TV collection, it appears.
“He’s gotta go back up to the place with all this history and live out his life thinking about how he killed Dany, and live out his life thinking about Ygritte [played by Rose Leslie] dying in his arms, and live out his life thinking about how he hung Olly [Brenock O’Connor], and live out his life thinking about all of this trauma, and that… That’s interesting,” he mentioned.
Again, Harington was not commenting instantly on the Jon Snow TV collection he’s creating with George R.R. Martin for HBO, however his feedback give us a window into the actor’s thought course of.
It was Harington himself who got here to Martin with the thought for a Jon Snow collection, so the actor is clearly invested in returning to the character for one more go-around.
While the Jon Snow TV collection is in improvement, that does not imply they may ever be launched. As of June 2022, it was on the script stage, which implies outlines and coverings have been written and authorised. The writing has gotten as far alongside as second and third drafts of scripts, Martin mentioned. But once more, simply because the reveals have moved this far, that does not imply they may go any additional.
“There are all sorts of reasons pilots never get picked up to series, all sorts of reasons scripts never got shot as pilots, all sorts of reasons great treatments never get sent to script. That’s the way the business works,” he mentioned.
What is confirmed is that the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is coming again for a second season, although its launch date and another data stays a thriller for now.
