It was reported in June 2022 that HBO was growing a Jon Snow spin-off with Harington in talks to reprise the function.
Giving an replace on the venture, Harington advised American information outlet Screenrant that the potential present is “off the table”.
“I hadn’t really ever spoken about it, because it was in development. I didn’t want it leaked out that it was being developed. I didn’t want the thing to happen where people kind of start theorising, getting either excited about it or hating the idea of it, when it may never happen. Because in development, you look at every angle, and you see whether it’s worth it,” the 37-year-old actor said.
“And currently, it’s not. Currently, it’s off the table, because we all couldn’t find the right story to tell that we were all excited about enough. So, we decided to lay down tools with it for the time being. There may be a time in the future where we return to it, but at the moment, no. It’s firmly on the shelf,” he added.
Post “Game of Thrones”, Harington has appeared in superhero movie “Eternals” and “Baby Ruby”, as well as shows like “Modern Love” and “Extrapolations”. He is currently promoting the upcoming crime drama film “Blood for Dust”.
