Jon Snow’s Game of Thrones sequel series is real, says George R.R. Martin

It seems the reports were true: Kit Harington really doesn’t want to give up time in Westeros. The Thursday news was: Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin confirmed last week’s report that HBO was developing a sequel spinoff series about Jon Snow. Martin couldn’t provide any more details on the series, suggesting that fans should look out for an official HBO announcement instead.

This is the title for the sequel series. It snows, and will apparently be about Jon Snow’s life after the events of the Game of ThronesHBO series. Emilia Clarke, a BBC interviewee, stated that Harington told her all about the series and was involved in every aspect.

Martin confirmed this as well, stating the series was Harington’s idea. Martin also said Harington chose the writers and showrunners for the series, and that the actor and his team came to New Mexico to work with Martin and Martin’s team to develop the series’ story and premise.

Martin, a television veteran and now blogger, makes it clear that this series is still in development but not yet officially approved. That means it’s still entirely possible this show won’t get made, or could get a pilot but no series order, like Game of Thrones’ It was a long night prequel.

It snowsThis is the fourth live action Game of ThronesCurrently in development: spinoff There’s also a series called Ten Thousand ShipsA series of titled Sea SnakeOr possibly Nine Voyages), and finally the “Dunk & Egg” series, which will either be called The Hedge KnightOr Knight of Seven Kingdoms. A number of animated Game of Thrones projects are currently in development.

None of these series, which are still using working titles for now, have been officially greenlit yet, and will likely depend heavily on the success of this year’s House of the DragonThe series will be available on HBO starting in August.

If this series does manage to the light of day, it probably won’t be for a very long time, especially since we don’t know anything about its writers or showrunners just yet.
