For many fans, Game of Thrones' final season was something of a let-down. Yes, there was a lot to love (including some epic battles), but everything from the fate of Daenerys Targaryen to who ended up on the Iron Throne proved to be incredibly divisive. As a result, we've since seen an endless stream of petitions with people demanding the final batch of episodes be remade!
That's never going to happen, of course, but Game of Thrones might just find redemption courtesy of a sequel series currently in the works at HBO Max.
While it's said to still be in the very early stages of development, the plan according to The Hollywood Reporter (via SFFGazette.com) is to tell the post-Westeros story of Jon Snow, a.k.a. Aegon Targaryen. Should the series become a reality, Kit Harington would reprise the role that put him on the map.
The last time we saw Jon in season 8 of Game of Thrones, he returned to the Night's Watch and left Westeros behind him after killing Daenerys. There are lots of places this story could take him, and it would obviously be an original tale seeing as George R.R. Martin still hasn't finished his Song of Ice and Fire saga (never mind starting work on a follow-up).
There's no word on who would be involved with this show from a creative standpoint.
Adding a Jon Snow series to the mix means HBO now has seven Game of Thrones projects in the works in addition to the upcoming House of the Dragon prequel. Others include 10,000 Ships, 9 Voyages, and Dunk and Egg. We're hoping this one pans out, but it's clearly still very early days.
Harington is likely to have a busy few years ahead. After starring in Marvel Studios' Eternals, the expectation is that he will return as Dane Whitman to chronicle the character's transformation into Black Knight (potentially alongside Mahershala Ali in the upcoming Blade movie).
Are you excited to potentially spend more time with Harington's Jon Snow?
