Back in June 2022,The Hollywood Reporterrevealed that a sequel series about Harington’s characterwas in early development.
Although the actor is remaining tight-lipped about any role reprisals, even telling Fallon, “I can’t say anything” about the planned series, Harington noted that there is one reason why he would do a spin-off — to get more attention in public.
“I don’t know, man … I walk down the street and I get recognized a little less nowadays, and it kind of hurts my ego, you know?” he teased. “I’m pretty close to like putting on some furs.”
“I got a tally in my head of how few photos I get asked for in a day,” Harington continued. “And when it gets below a certain number, I think I’ll do a spin-off.”

TheGoTtalk began when Fallon asked the actor about attendingthe officialGame of Thronesconvention in Los Angelesin December. At the event, Harington opened up about how he felt his character of Snow was doing after the show’s concluding events in 2019.
“It was a bit like going back in time,” Harington said of attending the event. “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. It’s kind of amazing that that show’s still got such a fanbase and it’s continuing on in its own way.”
During the convention, Harington also revealed that Snow was “not okay” where fans last saw him, perEntertainment Weekly. After the series finale, which saw himkilling Daenerys(Emilia Clarke) and being banished to the Wall in the North, Harington said his character"would’ve felt he got off lightly." As he explained, “the fact he goes to the Wall is the greatest gift and also the greatest curse.”
“So I think where we leave him at the end of the show, there’s always this feeling of like … I think we wanted some kind of little smile that things are okay. He’s not okay,” added Harington — who portrayed the role throughout all eight seasons of the series, based onGeorge R. R. Martin’s novels.

Last year,Maisie Williamsalso spoke about the possibility of a new series surrounding Snow, telling PEOPLE exclusivelywhile attendingthe Cannes Lions Festival with Spotify that they had a “rich show, and there’s still so much story to tell.”
“I think it’s really exciting, and I think that Kit is such a phenomenal actor. Him playing Jon Snow was just like a cultural reset,” Williams, 25, who played Snow’s siblingArya Stark, said. “I think everything that he touches is magic, and I’m excited to see what it’s going to be.”
