Game of Thrones‘ Jon Snow famously came back from the dead, but a sequel centered on the character seems unlikely to do so.
After revealing that HBO came to him, asking whether he’d be up for a spinoff, Harington said his initial reaction was “No.”
In a new interview with GQ, Kit Harington — who played Jon for all eight seasons of the HBO drama — offers fresh details regarding why a proposed spinoff based on his Thrones character died in development.
“It’s kind of essential to do my job,” he adds, “for people to come and see me and not see Jon Snow.”
