US EditionArya Stark ‘Game of Thrones’ Spinoff in Development at HBO: Report
HBO shifts focus to Arya Stark spinoff set in Essos after scrapping Jon Snow sequel due to dark vision; series development is in early stages with writer attached.
- Thursday, HBO is in "very early development" on an Arya Stark spinoff following the collapse of a Jon Snow sequel, with writer Quoc Dang Tran attached but no actors cast yet.
- Kit Harington pushed a darker Jon Snow arc portraying the character "as a broken man with PTSD" and wanted him to die, but HBO found the pitch "too much of a bummer" and shelved the sequel.
- A proposed arc would have shown Jon Snow discard Longclaw, drive off Ghost, and build then burn cabins, with Kit Harington working with Gunpowder writers and drawing on his own struggles.
- The franchise will continue with an Arya story set in Essos, while House of the Dragon season 3 premieres later this year and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms debuts Jan. 18 on HBO.
- After multiple false starts, this Arya idea could revive the franchise as fan anger over the original finale eases seven years on, making Arya Stark focus more palatable for Game of Thrones fans.
