The GOT Spinoff
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network has jumped headfirst into the early development for its first sequel to the drama, “Game of Thrones,” which will focus on the fan-favorite character of Jon Snow. Kit Harrington, the actor who played Snow, is all set to reprise his role as the mysterious and broody Lord Commander of the night’s watch. The actor has been highly praised for his work in the drama series as he was nominated twice for an Emmy for his portrayal of an action hero in the world of “Game of Thrones.”
The Star Of The Show
After Kit Harrington’s phenomenal performance in fantasy-drama television, the actor scored a role in Marvel Cinematic Universe and also starred in 2021’s ‘Eternals’ alongside another “Game of Thrones” Alumni Richard Madden, who played the eldest son and half-brother of Jon Snow. Harrington also participated in the National Theater’s live adaptation of ‘Henry V.’ There’s no doubt that he is a skilled and dedicated actor. It was reported that Harrington was dealing with some of the most grueling filmings in Northern Ireland. The current development regarding the television show came after the ultimate success enjoyed by the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it profited from the spin-offs from the main Avengers plotline like ‘Loki,’ ‘WandaVision,’ and ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi.’
Where Will The Show Start
In the final and eighth seasons of the show, the main character Jon Snow discovered that his birth name was Aegon Targaryen and that he was the potential heir to the Iron Throne. However, over the seasons and the course of events, he ended up being exiled from Westeros and pursued a life up north with the Wildlings and left his life behind. Now, there’s no confirmation about where the story will pick up from but many believe that it would start after the point where the last season ended. However, there is also a group of people who are convinced that this series is going to explore Jon Snow’s Targaryen background and origins.
