“Game Of Thrones”: Update on the Jon Snow spinoff dashes fans’ hopes

Maybe even patience isn’t enough, because it’s still possible that the series about Aegon Targaryen aka Jon Snow (Kit Harington) won’t happen at all. Because as HBO boss Casey Bloys said in an interview with Now emphasized again: The series is currently being developed, but has not yet been officially ordered! And with two exceptions, this applies to all “Game Of Thrones” spin-offs, which are widely reported.

Only the prequel ‘House Of The Dragon’, which has already started and will have a second season in early summer 2024, and an adventure series with the working title ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight’, the first season of which will be released in the spring starts. Filming is scheduled for 2024. So far, no other series from the ‘GoT’ universe has been greenlit.

There are many series in development, but not all of them will come!

“We always have Game Of Thrones scripts in development,” Bloys said . “But I wouldn’t say anything else out of this world [außer den beiden oben genannten Serien] is close to getting the green light or something.”

This means: a possible series about Jon Snow is still a long way off, if it ever happens – which isn’t that surprising, because with “House of the Dragon” and “The Hedge Knight” Two ‘Game Of Thrones’ series will soon run in parallel about the stories of knight Duncan and his squire, who is called Egg.

It makes sense that a third series will not be hastily added, but that the possible material will first be developed quietly and the interest of the audience will continue to be monitored – but in the meantime we are constantly working on “different scripts and ideas”, Bloys emphasizes. And in addition to the possible Jon Snow sequel, there are many more, including a prequel about Aegon the Conqueror, who first brought Westeros under his wing and then had the Iron Throne forged.

Fans of “Game Of Thrones” should not hope to see the Jon Snow series in the near future. Ultimately, it would be a bit surprising if the series released so soon after the end of ‘Game Of Thrones’.

Ultimately, HBO said they would initially focus on prequels and not continue with the main series. Continuing to tell Jon Snow’s story would essentially be a continuation of what is already being dubbed ‘Season 9’ of ‘Game Of Thrones’ among fans – especially those who were unhappy with the final eighth season.

A late sequel to “Game Of Thrones”?

After all, Kit Harington can appear in front of the camera again at any age as Jon Snow, since it is about the future years of his character anyway. If the “Snow” series doesn’t come out in a few years, maybe even 10 or 20 (late series sequels and revivals are no longer a rarity), a completely new, different chapter of Westeros could still be coming from a long time ago can be told. far away it will be, with an old Jon Snow and a lot of time passed by the events of the main series.
