The untitled Jon Snow project continues to remain an enigma, even though the Game of Thrones cast has teased the show on multiple occasions. This time it's Brienne of Tarth herself, Gwendoline Christie, who's teasing the project.Game of Thrones ran for 8 seasons between 2011 and 2019. A sprawling fantasy epic, the series featured a large ensemble cast. The plot revolved around the claimants for the Iron Throne, the center of power on the continent of Westeros. Their squabbling was pointless and ultimately worked to weaken humanity against true, existential threats, such as the White Walkers of the North, who sought to turn humanity into their undead thralls for reasons unknown. The series' eighth and final season, however, was highly controversial, if not universally disliked. Jon Snow actor Kit Harington appears to have pitched this new project to continue the storyline of the show.Access Hollywood caught up with Christie on the red carpet premiere of Wednesday, and the interviewer asked Christie about the possibility of her appearing on the Jon Snow spin-off. Christie joked, "Oh, in the new Jon Snow spin-off? Well, I really don't know about that - I think it depends if Kit Harington remembers quite how many favors he owes me. And if the writing's any good - I believe he's doing it himself." She laughed uproariously at that, before clarifying, "No, I have spoken to Kit about it, and I'm really delighted for him - he was so legendary in that role, really. He's a great actor - Kit Harington, and he committed his life to that role. And I think we all want to see more of it."
Behind Christie's jokes, her reluctance to reveal any information mirrors Harington's own secrecy around the Game of Thrones Jon Snow sequel. While fans have been speculating about what the show could possibly be about, nothing concrete has been revealed. A logline for the series has yet to be released, as it appears to be in the early stages of development.
Given that House of the Dragon brought up the Prince That Was Promised prophecy, which involves a Targaryen prince saving the world from an existential threat from the North, it's possible the ground is already being laid for the spin-off. In Game of Thrones, it's Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) who puts an end to the threat of the White Walkers. Perhaps Jon Snow will have to face a bigger and more worrisome threat and fulfill House Targaryen's greatest prophecy.
With Brienne still alive at the end of Game of Thrones (and the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard), it's entirely possible she's a character who could appear in the Jon Snow sequel. Her liege is Brandon Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright), who is heavily involved with the magic of the North, so it wouldn't be a surprise for one of his swords to appear alongside him if Jon Snow calls on him to help.
Game of Thrones is now available on HBO Max.
