Jon Snow Spin-Off Rumours are Untrue According to Kit Harington's Reps
British tabloid The Daily Star reported earlier that a senior executive at HBO revealed "exploratory talks" have been taking place with Kit Harington for a Game of Thrones spin-off centering on the fan-favourite character.
“Any spin-off built around Jon Snow, who is hugely popular with fans, would also undoubtedly involve other characters from the cast,” their source told them. “When the seventh season wraps next year, it’s going to be a case of figuring out who we want to join us for a new show and which of those cast members actually want to jump on board.”
Many have run with the story, though the source isn't known for its reliability. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that "reps for the show and actor say there is zero truth to this."
Now departing HBO programming president Michael Lombardo just last month said that the network has no current plans for a Game of Thrones spin-off, though they are open to the possibility if there is a "strong creative vision" behind it.
