HBO is in the “early development” of a series of Game of Thrones sequels centered on the character Jon Snow, reports The Hollywood Reporter. It’s a live action series, and Kit Harrington joins in to reprise the role that made him famous.
The series will be set after the events of Game of Thrones, making it the first sequel to no less than eight Game of Thrones spin-offs that HBO is developing. Jon Snow, a heroic outcast who discovered he was a possible heir to the Iron Throne, was last seen in exile and joining the rest of the free people to resettle the free lands north of the Wall.
Continuing with its history is a significant and risky move. Making prequel series that explores the established Westeros tradition includes less baggage and more guides than advancing the story of much-loved characters, especially after fans’ reactions to the conclusion of Game of Thrones were at least mixed.
Aside from House of the Dragon, set 200 years earlier, which will be released on August 21, HBO is said to be developing three more pre-action live-action series set in Westeros: The Sea Snake, about the great people of sea Corlys Velaryon, who appears. the Dragon House; Ten Thousand Ships, set 1,000 years earlier and telling the story of Princess Nymeria, who founded Dorne; and a series set just 90 years before Game of Thrones, adapted from the novels Tales of Dunk and Egg by George RR Martin.
The Hollywood Reporter also considers that there are three prequel series of animation in development, including The Golden Empire, set in the land of Yi Ti.
There is no guarantee that any of these projects, but House of the Dragon, will hit the screen. In 2019, HBO went on to shoot a pilot for a prequel series starring Naomi Watts, before canceling it.
