Los Angeles, British star Kit Harington has revealed that a spinoff series based on his "Game of Thrones" character Jon Snow is no longer in development because the team could not find the right story.
Harington rose to global stardom with his performance as Jon Snow, a Brudin warrior and one of the key characters in the HBO epic fantasy show, which ended in May 2019 after eight seasons.
In June 2022, it was reported that HBO was developing a Jon Snow spin-off with Harington in talks to reprise the role.
Giving an update on the project, Harington told American news outlet Screenrun that the potential show is "off the table".
“I never really talked about it, because it was in the development stage.I didn't want it to be leaked that it was being developed. I didn't want it to happen where people started theorizing, either getting excited about it or hating the idea of it, when that could never happen. Because in development, you look at every angle, and you see if it's worth it," said Ecto, 37.
“And currently, it is not so. For now, it's off the table because we couldn't find the right story to tell that we were all excited about.So, we decided to keep the device with it for some time. There may come a time in the future when we return to it, but for now, no. It's firmly on the shelf, he added.
After "Game of Thrones," Harington has appeared in the superhero films "Eternals" and "Baby Ruby" as well as shows like "Modern Love" and "Extrapolations." He is currently promoting the upcoming crime drama film "Blood for Dust".HBO continues the "Thrones" universe with "House of the Dragon," which will return with season two in June this year. Another spin-off show, titled "Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight", will be in production soon
