Bamf Jon Snow (2024)

FAQs

Will there ever be a Jon Snow spinoff? ›

While a planned sequel series centered on his character, Jon Snow, was initially announced in June 2022, the actor said in a recent interview that it failed to gain creative traction. “It's not happening,” Harington recently told Entertainment Weekly, “and not happening anytime soon anyway.

“Um, blood. Let's face it, probably B.O, and wet dog, 'cause of the pelts and stuff he wears,” Harington tells PEOPLE in the latest issue. “It's not a pleasant smell. He could do with some of this as well,” he says, noting the scent.

Aemon was the maester at Castle Black in service of the Night's Watch. He was among Lord Commander Jeor Mormont's closest advisors. He was born Aemon Targaryen ^[d] and was the last known Targaryen in Westeros. He was the great-uncle of Daenerys Targaryen, and unbeknownst to him, the great-great uncle of Jon Snow.

Game of Thrones: Season 7

Daenerys tells Jon that both Viserion and Rhaegal were named for her deceased brothers, neither of them yet aware that Rhaegar was secretly Jon's biological father, or that this means Jon is really her nephew.

Currently, it's off the table, because we all couldn't find the right story to tell that we were all excited about enough,” he continued. “So, we decided to lay down tools with it for the time being. There may be a time in the future where we return to it, but at the moment, no. It's firmly on the shelf.”

While Jon Snow in neither the books or the show has had a marriage in the traditional sense, in either the customs of the Old Gods or the Seven, he was still technically married… To Ygritte. You see, in the books, we are told that Wildlings marriage customs are pretty much you kidnap a woman, she's your wife.

One of the visions Daenerys sees in the House of the Undying is of her brother Rhaegar, his wife and a baby: Rhaegar decides on the name "Aegon" for his newborn son, as he thinks the name fit for a king; Elia asks whether Rhaegar will make a song for their son, and he replies that Aegon, the prince that was promised, ...

Even Jon's father, Rhaegar, believed his own offspring would fulfil the prophecy because the fable states that this saviour will come from the bloodline of Mad King Aerys II and Rhaella (Rhaegar's parents). This is why Rhaegar gave two of his sons the name of Aegon, after the great King Aegon the Conqueror.

Of course, there were also the direct descendants Maester Aemon Targaryen and Jon Snow, the latter of whom's real parents were revealed to be Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. This means that Jon Snow is very distantly related to Daemon Targaryen of House of the Dragon.

There were many more generations of Targaryen kings after the death of King Viserys, a dynastic line that survived until Aerys II, known as the Mad King. The son of King Jaehaerys II Targaryen, Aerys came to the throne early, his father dying only three years after he first sat on the Iron Throne.

Does Catelyn Stark ever find out about Jon Snow? ›

No, Ned never told Catelyn the truth about Jon. As far as she knew, Jon was Ned's son by another woman.

In A Game of Thrones, Jon Snow is introduced as the 14-year-old illegitimate son of Eddard "Ned" Stark, Lord of Winterfell, and half-brother to Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran and Rickon. Jon is described as having strong Stark features with a lean build, long face, dark brown hair, and dark grey eyes.

George R.R. Martin, who wrote the books on which GoT was based, confirmed the news in June 2022. "Yes, there is a Jon Snow show in development," the Song of Ice and Fire author wrote on his blog at the time. "Yes, it was Kit Harrington [sic] who brought the idea to us.

Jon Snow is a Targaryen in the A Song of Ice and Fire novels just like the show, and this fact also reveals that his parents, Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, may have assumed he'd be female.

It seems more evident that both Jon and Daenerys, together, are the Prince or Princess That Was Promised. They both shared clear signs of the prophecy, and it was ultimately their union that defeated the White Walkers and saved mankind.

Harington was preparing to reprise Jon Snow for a time as he was developing a “Game of Thrones” spinoff for HBO centered on the heroic character, but he confirmed earlier this month that the project has been shelved. Perhaps the actor's resistance to traditional heroes steered him away from playing Jon Snow again.
