Game of Thrones Actor Confirms One Spinoff Is Canceled (For Now)

One Game of Thrones actor confirmed the developing spinoff for their character is officially scrapped, explaining why the creative team behind the project couldn't make it work.

Game of Thrones was one of the most acclaimed and watched shows during its heyday. However, the final two seasons were widely regarded as rushed, culminating with a divisive series finale panned by many viewers. Nonetheless, the franchise was still popular enough for HBO to develop multiple spinoffs, including a Game of Thrones sequel with Kit Harington's Jon Snow. The series would follow Jon Snow after the Game of Thrones series finale, which ended with the character joining the Wildlings beyond the wall after being exiled to appease the followers of Daenerys Targaryen, whom Jon Snow killed because she burned down King's Landing to claim the Iron Throne.

However, the Game of Thrones Jon Snow sequel's future was in doubt after an HBO executive said they were unsure if they could make the project work in 2023. During an interview with Screen Rant, Harington said the Jon Snow sequel was only in development and he was hesitant to talk about it in case it didn't move forward. Harington then confirmed the Game of Thrones sequel was no longer in development because the creative team couldn't find a worthwhile story, though he suggested the project could be revisited.

I hadn't really ever spoken about it, because it was in development. I didn't want it leaked out that it was being developed, and I didn't want the thing to happen where people kind of start theorizing, getting either excited about it or hating the idea of it, when it may never happen. Because in development, you look at every angle, and you see whether it's worth it.

And currently, it's not. Currently, it's off the table, because we all couldn't find the right story to tell that we were all excited about enough. So, we decided to lay down tools with it for the time being. There may be a time in the future where we return to it, but
