Kit Harington to Reprise Jon Snow in Game of Thrones Sequel Series
The legend of Jon Snow has yet to be fully told. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kit Harington has signed on to reprise the character in an upcoming Game of Thrones sequel series. It’s the first known Game of Thrones spin-off series that’ll take place after the events of the original series. In the case of Jon Snow’s character, he was last seen heading North of the Wall after killing Daenerys Targaryen. Needless to say, the news is surprising for a variety of reasons.

As the show wrapped in 2019, reports circulated that Harington had checked into rehab. This had nothing to do with the quality of the final season — as of several months later, the actor hadn’t seen it — and at the time, a source identified as a friend said, “He’s in the clinic predominantly for stress and exhaustion and also alcohol.” Now, after some much-needed rest, Harington is speaking about the experience. “I went through some mental health difficulties after Thrones, and during the end of Thrones, to be honest,” he said. “I think it was directly due to the nature of...
