The future might not be so bright for Jon Snow. The highly anticipated Game of Thrones sequel starring Kit Harington just got a disappointing update.
HBO Uncertain About Moving Forward With Game of Thrones Sequel About Jon Snow
The update comes from HBO Drama Chief Francesca Orsi who told Deadline that the Game of Thrones sequel series is still being developed. In addition to that, Orsi claimed that it is still uncertain whether the show will get the greenlight.
"We’re just working deeply with the writers to get it in shape for potential greenlight, but at this point, no, no determination on whether it can go all the way," Orsi said.
This isn't exactly the update that people have been waiting for. After all, the Jon Snow series, which is expected to be titled Snow, is one of the most anticipated shows on the network since it will serve as a sequel to Game of Thrones.
Despite the disappointing news, fans remain hopeful about the new series. Moreover, there's another upcoming Game of Thrones spin-off that got a hopeful update. According to Orsi, there are already big plans for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight.
"The plan is more of a creative one in that much of the reasoning behind it is that it has a smaller canvas, that there's an intimacy to the visual canvas that allows us to generate the show faster than say House of the Dragon might turn around because there's so much VFX," she explained.
"You may know based on the novellas that dragons don't exist so by virtue of that it will be a faster piece to turn around given that we don't have all these visual effect assets needing to deliver," Orsi continued.
She added that for The Hedge Knight, the plan is to follow the series "ideally year-to-year and arcing out a three-season series, which maps out the three novellas that [George R.R. Martin] wrote."
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight has not yet been given an official release date.
