News of a possible ‘Game of Thrones‘ sequel featuring Jon Snow, the beloved character, left the fans anticipating a thrilling revisit to Westeros. However, the future of this intriguing project is not as clear as it might seem. Francesca Orsi, HBO’s head of drama, has revealed that there’s no definite assurance that this sequel will indeed see the light of day.
In a recent conversation with Deadline, Orsi fielded questions about the potential series in which Kit Harington would embody his iconic ‘Game of Thrones’ role once more. According to her, the project is still at an embryonic stage, with plenty of work ahead before it becomes a reality.
Orsi said, “We’re working hard with the writers to get it in shape for a potential green light, but at this point, no, it’s not determined if it will go all the way.”
A Sneak Peek Into the Making
The news about a series featuring Jon Snow first made headlines in June 2022, with George RR Martin, the creator of ‘Game of Thrones,’ subsequently revealing that it was tentatively titled ‘Snow.’ He also mentioned that it was Harington who conceived the idea.

Reflecting on Jon Snow’s journey and his mindset, Harington shared, “At the end of the series, when we find him in that cell, he’s getting ready to be beheaded and he wants it that way. He’s finished. The fact that he’s going to the Wall is the greatest gift and also the greatest curse.”
The actor added, “He has to go back to that place with all this history and live his life thinking about how he killed Dany, and live his life thinking about Ygritte dying in his arms, and live his life thinking about how he hanged Olly, and live his life thinking about all this trauma. That’s interesting.”
