Kit Harington, who played the beloved “Game of Thrones” character Jon Snow, delivered some heartbreaking news about the potential spinoff series on Tuesday. “I hadn’t really ever spoken about it, because it was in development,” Harington, 37, told Screen Rant.
“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.”According to the British actor, the people involved “look at every angle” to “see whether it’s worth it.”“Currently, it’s not,” he lamented. “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.”While the spinoff could potentially be revisited in the future, it is “firmly on the shelf” for now.In November 2023, HBO CEO Casey Bloys told TV Line that the potential spinoff was still in limbo. “We always have ‘Game of Thrones’ scripts in development.
We greenlit ‘Dunk and Egg’ in the spring,” Bloys told the outlet, referring to a series of novellas written by author George R.R. Martin.According to Bloys, the “Dunk and Egg” series is the only spinoff that has been given the go-ahead so far.“I wouldn’t say there is anything else in that world that is close to a greenlight or anything,” the HBO head honcho added.

While the Marvel Studios narrative generally goes: an unimpeachable run at the box-office and with critics until 2023’s flop “The Marvels,” a closer inspection of the whole story arguably shows chinks starting to show in the armor during the pandemic. While it’s unfair to compare the box office of pandemic-era movies like “Shang Chi” and “Black Widow” to their non-pandemic counterparts, one film that seemed to take it in the teeth, regardless, was Chloe Zhao’s “Eternals” (read our review here).
