Jon Snow’s Game Of Thrones spin-off was all Jon Snow’s idea
Jon Snow knows one thing: That he should have his own TV show
Aux News Jon Snow
Kit Harington is obviously bored or in need of some money, because that Game Of Thrones spin-off/sequel about Jon Snow that recently leaked out was not only apparently his idea, but the yet-to-be-named writers/showrunners on the project are “his own team.” That means Kit Harington decided there should be a Game Of Thrones spin-off about him, found some people to make it, and then brought it to HBO. There’s nothing wrong with that, we’re just saying that of course Jon Snow wants to make a TV show all about Jon Snow. Jon Snow’s gotta eat just like the rest of us.
This news comes from George R.R. Martin, who has returned to his blog (via Variety) after what we can only assume was a solid 15 minutes of working on those books he’s not working on, and in the middle of a post that also includes several asides about how journalists are supposed to do their jobs (hey, maybe write a novel, novelist), Martin mentions that the Jon Snow series—tentatively titled Snow—does indeed exist and that someone other than him leaked it to the press (you got that, HBO?). He won’t say much about it beyond what we already know, but he does say Snow has been in development for as long as every other Game Of Thrones spin-off that’s currently in development (save for House Of The Dragon, which is almost on the air already), so he seems like he was surprised that it didn’t leak until now.
But Martin isn’t the only one talking about Snow, with Emilia Clarke (who played Jon Snow’s girlfriend/aunt Daenerys) telling the BBC recently that Harington did tell her about it before the rest of us knew, adding, “I know it exists. It’s happening.” She also said that “it’s been created by Kit,” as far as she knows, and “he’s in it from the ground up.” So, if it does get made, it will be “certified by Kit Harington.” (Clarke also added “No, I think I’m done” when asked if she would ever go back to Game Of Thrones, which… yeah. We get it. She deserves better than that.)
So Snow is real, and Kit Harington will happily tell you about it if you ask (assuming you’re either Emilia Clarke or George R.R. Martin). It’s probably still a ways off, if HBO does decide to make it, but—if Martin is to be trusted on this—it might not be as far a ways off as you might think.

“We get it. She deserves better than that.”I’m guessing it has less to do with what happened in the show and more to do with the harassment she sustained online from disgruntled fans. Fans just like you!And no, she doesn’t deserve better writing. Terrible actor. It’s like you have to find a way to be as wrong as possible.
more to do with the harassment she sustained online from disgruntled fans. Very true, some people can be real jerks to celebrities online. And no, she doesn’t deserve better writing. Terrible actor. Case in point.
Didn’t he go to rehab because he was depressed over Game of Thrones ending? I don’t know that saying he’s “obviously bored or in need of some money” is a super chill way to write about it?
Sure, give Jon Snow a spinoff, but have it set in 1960s San Francisco and he solves crimes with a talking motorcycle.
As a side note to that, Street Hawk had excellent theme music. We’re talking Air Wolf tier here but then would you expect anything less if Tangerine Dream did it?
Airwolf didn’t talk!
Though upon reflection, I kinda wish it did.
It spoke to me.
But Marge, Knight Boat! The crime SOLVING boat!
There’s ALWAYS a canal!
The snark is really strained in this one. Actor wants to make thing he can act in. Film at 11.
Just the usual Sam Assanti. Dude’s an asshole.
Almost got a snark hernia from that one.
It’s Barsanti. Snark isn’t in his skill set.Actually, I’m not sure what’s in his skillset? Power bottom?
This is what happens when Michael Dorn is your sponsor.
If I got to regularly sleep with Rose Leslie I wouldn’t need or want anything else, ever. Food sir? No. Oxygen? No. No, I’m content.
Her family sold the castle. So now they have to live in the other castle.
They should bring back Sean Bean.Some things you will see in the credits for “Snow”:“A Kit Harington Joint”Written, Directed, Produced, Created By Kit Harington”“Music by Kit Harington”“Special Thanks to Kit Harington”“Written By David E. Kelley & Kit Harington
for some reason reminds me of that Steven Seagal story where he’s on the phone crying saying he just read the most beautiful script. “Who wrote it?” “Me.”
Not a great to get your ideas for shows from someone who knows nothing.
I’m sure everyone will be very excited to see more of him being flat and bland and wooden and looking like he has to fart. Seriously just a terrible actor.
“Do you really think people want to see more Jon Snow?”“Yes, of course — indubitably!”
I hope it’s a TLC style reality show set in Westeros called “Snow knows nothing” where each week Jon Snow learns something new
