- The Jon Snow “Game of Thrones” spin-off is currently off the table due to the inability to find a suitable story.
- Harington had been cautious about discussing the project while it was in development to avoid building up expectations.
- Despite the project’s current status, there is a possibility of revisiting it in the future, though it is not a priority at this time .
- The decision to shelve the project was made after extensive consideration and a lack of excitement about the potential storylines.
Kit Harington, the actor who portrayed Jon Snow in “Game of Thrones,” has given a disappointing update on the potential spin-off centered around his character. In an interview with Screen Rant, Harington confirmed that the highly-anticipated Jon Snow spin-off is no longer in development.
He revealed that the project was never a done deal to begin with, and he had avoided speaking publicly about it while it was in development because he didn’t want fans getting all worked up “when it may never happen”.

The actor explained that the project was taken off the table because the team couldn’t find the right story to tell that they were all excited about enough. This decision was made after a lot of back and forth, and it was ultimately decided to stop the project altogether. Harington added that there may be a time in the future where they return to it, but at the moment, it’s firmly on the shelf.
The news sparked chaos in the fanbase, as the series was speculated to be in the works for the last few years. Game of Thrones writer George R.R. Martin had mentioned that the show was “in development,” but he emphasized that HBO had not given it a green light.
Harington’s reticence to discuss the spin-off publicly was due to his desire to avoid leaking out that it was being developed, and he didn’t want the project to be the subject of speculation and excitement or backlash when it may never happen.
Despite the disappointing update, Harington’s return to HBO with the 2024 HBO TV show “Industry” season 3, where he will play Henry Muck, the CEO of a green energy tech company called Lumi, indicates his continued strong relationship with the cable outfit. This return to HBO does not guarantee anything, but it would make it more surprising if the spinoff wasn’t picked up in the future.
