Several theories are now surrounding the officially announced Jon Snow sequel, following the events of Game of Thrones, led by Kit Harington. After the hit HBO series overtook George R.R. Martin’s book, A Song of Ice and Fire, the network didn’t use plenty of characters from the source material that it could introduce in the follow-up story.
Sure, Game of Thrones has given Jon Snow a complete ending, but there are several directions HBO can take his story. So, what will be the Jon Snow sequel’s possible storyline? By the looks of it, it may have something to do with the Wildlings.
Jon Snow and the Wildling Princess
According to Screen Rant, the story of Val, a Wildling princess, was cut from the series. She was the sister of Mance’s (Ciarán Hinds) wife and had become a major part of Jon’s storyline in the book.
Though HBO’s take of Jon’s storyline seems fine without her, it may have become stronger if she has been part of it.

Val is a temptation to Jon that he must resist. She may give the family and life that he dreams of, but she, too, is a strong player of the Wildlings.
He may have the happily ever after that he wants with her, which he often refuses, making his arc more impactful if it’s seen on the small screen.
With that said, Val may play a key role in the upcoming Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow sequel if the bosses include her in the story.
Val as Jon Snow’s Villain
If Val isn't Jon’s love interest in the upcoming sequel, she can be his main villain. So, how will that play out?
Jon and Tormund (Kristofer Hivju) went North with the remaining Wildlings members. So, if the sequel focuses on this storyline, it may introduce Val into the scene as someone among their ranks.
Viewers may see her as a “fierce, courageous, beautiful and skilled Wildling” who can be her own character and a love interest for Jon.

The Coming of Jon Snow Sequel
Martin himself confirmed the development of the Jon Snow sequel on HBO. Polygon noted it was given a working title of Snow and would be about Jon’s life after the events of Game of Thrones.
He even said that it was Harington’s idea and the latter chose the writers and showrunners for the series. In addition, the English actor even went to New Mexico with his team to work with the author and his group to develop the series’ story and premise.

Alternatively, in an interview with BBC, Emilia Clarke, who played the role of Daenerys in the original series, revealed Harington had already told her about the show and he was “heavily involved” with it from top to bottom.
However, in his blog post, Martin cleared that the Jon Snow sequel is yet to be greenlit by HBO and is only in development, meaning it’s still possible to be canned and won’ get a series order like Game Of Thrones’ Long Night prequel.
