00:05Sorry Game of Thrones fans, it looks like that Jon Snow-led sequel is no longer happening.
00:10Kit Harington confirmed the sad news to the Associated Press, saying
00:13there are no plans for it at the moment. It's off the table for the foreseeable.
00:18Game of Thrones, based on the fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin,
00:21finished its eighth and final season in 2019.
00:25HBO's prequel series House of the Dragon premiered in 2022,
00:28with a second season scheduled for this June.
00:312022 is when plans first surfaced for a Game of Thrones sequel series centered on Jon Snow,
00:36with Harington attached to reprise his role.
00:39Updates on the status of the potential project have remained sparse ever since,
00:43but showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss told The Hollywood Reporter in January
00:47they hadn't written off a sequel entirely.
00:50It would be so great. Nothing would make us happier than to work with our people from that show.
00:54But there are a lot of other ways to make that happen that are fresh and exciting for everyone involved.
00:59The duo noted it might be a better idea when more time has elapsed since the original show's finale.
01:04Maybe when we're 80 and Kit's approaching retirement.
01:07He can throw that cloak on again with real gray in his beard.
