In a recent Game of Thrones convention in L.A., titular actor Kit Harington teased fans what they can expect from Jon Snow in the upcoming spinoff. The spinoff was originally announced in June this year and was confirmed by George R.R. Martin when he revealed that it was Harington’s idea for the sequel series.
While Harington was unable to reveal details of the development of the show, he id talk about Jon Snow’s character development after the events of Game of Thrones and what could happen to him after his character killed Daenerys. Entertainment Weekly reported the panel at the convention where Harington said, “I think if you asked him, he would’ve felt he got off lightly. At the end of the show when we find him in that cell, he’s preparing to be beheaded and he wants to be. He’s done. The fact he goes to the Wall is the greatest gift and also the greatest curse.” Harington continues to theorize,
“He’s gotta go back up to the place with all this history and live out his life thinking about how he killed Dany, and live out his life thinking about Ygritte dying in his arms, and live out his life thinking about how he hung Olly, and live out his life thinking about all of this trauma, and that…that’s interesting.”
Without explicitly mentioning the Jon Snow spinoff, Harington discussed his character’s state of mind when the original show ended, “So I think where we leave him at the end of the show, there’s always this feeling of like…I think we wanted some kind of little smile that things are okay. He’s not okay.”
The working title for the spinoff is currently SNOW, however, a production timeline has yet to be confirmed.
