Game Of Thrones spinoff centered around his character Jon Snow has been scrapped.The idea was first confirmed to have been in the works in 2022, with George RR Martin revealing that the series would pick up where the main show left off and was Harington’s own idea.Two years on, however, and Harington has said the show is no longer in development as producers “couldn’t find the right story to tell”.“I hadn’t really ever spoken about it, because it was in development,” he 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.
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 at the moment, no. It’s firmly on the shelf.”Despite there not being a Jon Snow spin-off, two other shows related to Game Of Thrones have been created.
