That Jon Snow-focused “Game of Thrones” spin-off sequel series revealed last June has not been greenlit according to HBO chief Casey Bloys.
The series plans to center on fan-favorite character Jon Snow with actor Kit Harington attached to reprise the role. Harington landed two Emmy nominations for his portrayal of the famed character who discovered his true name was Aegon Targaryen – a potential heir to the Iron Throne.
In the series finale, he was exiled from Westeros and journeyed North of the Wall with the Wildlings to leave his old life behind. It marked the only one of the spin-offs in development that took place after the events of “Game of Thrones”.
Bloys told TV Line this week that whilst there are always “Game of Thrones” spin-off scripts being worked on, the only two to have received a greenlight so far are the ongoing “House of the Dragon” and the in works “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight” series which is based on the Dunk and Egg stories. Bloys tells the outlet:
“We always have Game of Thrones scripts in development. We greenlit Dunk and Egg in the spring … I wouldn’t say there is anything else in that world that is close to a green light or anything, but we are always working on different scripts and ideas.”
Other spin-offs in the works include a prequel set three centuries earlier revolving around the original Aegon Targaryen the First and his conquest of Westeros – he marked the first to sit on the Iron Throne, and was the founder of the Targaryen Dynasty.
