With our attention so fixed on House of the Dragon, it can be easy to forget that there are other Game of Thrones spinoffs in various stages of development … some of which would promise the return of familiar faces if they come to fruition.
During Kit Harington’s recent guest appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, he teased the possibility of a Jon Snow sequel series, though he maintained we shouldn’t get our hopes up just yet.
Jimmy and Kit’s nearly 8-minute interview covers several topics, from Kit’s family life to his upcoming film, Baby Ruby, but at 3:08, Jimmy asks Kit about the Game of Thrones fan convention he attended last year, to which Kit fondly replies:
“It was a bit like going back in time. You know, I know it’s only been four years or something but it feels longer and I went to it and it’s nice seeing the fans and it’s kind of amazing that, that show has still got such a fan base and it’s continuing on in its in its own way.”
Which, of course, segues (3:35) into “rumors” of a Jon Snow spinoff. Jimmy and Kit both speak of it as something largely hypothetical which … I find confusing. A Jon Snow spinoff was, indeed, announced to be in development last summer. This doesn’t guarantee that it’ll make it all the way through production, but it’s objectively more than a rumor. Watching Kit pretend to *sigh* know nothing, frankly, gives me flashbacks to that awful year between seasons 5 and 6 when Kit and every other soul connected to Game of Thrones had to swear up and down that Jon Snow really was dead and wasn’t coming back.
Maybe I’m overthinking things. Jimmy and Kit’s conversation is charming and towards the end (4:44) Jimmy beseeches fans not to ask Kit for selfies in order to hurt his ego badly enough to make him agree to make the spinoff. He speculates that “if you [don’t] do it for the next two days, by Monday we could have an answer, and we could see a Game of Thrones spinoff right now with Jon Snow.
We’ll see what happens.
