Kit Harington's Game of Thrones Return May Not Be Dead After All
Harington says he could see a version that works after years away, as HBO once explored a sequel built around Jon Snow’s grief and PTSD.
- On Monday, actor Kit Harington told the Happy Sad Confused podcast he feels more comfortable reprising his role as Jon Snow. The Game of Thrones sequel he helped develop was previously shelved after the team failed to find the right story.
- Harington, HBO, and George R.R. Martin developed the project for two years before pausing it. "If we don't find the right thing, let's not do it," Harington said, reflecting the team's shared commitment to quality over rushed production.
- After gaining distance from the original series, Harington feels "more comfortable with that character and that world again." He credits this shift to working on other projects since Game of Thrones ended in 2019.
- While the original concept remains shelved, reports suggest HBO is exploring a revised sequel. Speculation points to a story potentially set in Essos, though the network has not confirmed any new development.
- Currently, the actor is working on HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series, playing a professor in season two. This engagement has helped Harington find balance while remaining open to future Game of Thrones opportunities.
