Yes!!!!!!!

This development news means there are now seven Thrones projects in the works in addition to the upcoming House of the Dragon prequel series, which debuts Aug. 21.

Even though probably not all of those projects will get made, it's still surprising to me that there are that many in the works at once. HBO seems to be taking lessons from Disney on how to milk a franchise.

I wasn't much of a fan of Jon Snow (no personality or charisma) and am not sure how compelling a series that focuses on him will be (a series about Tyrion, though, sign me up), but I do like that it's a sequel and not a prequel like so many series these days.

Yeah Assuming Tormund might be in it occasionally as well. That’s always fun.

It's kind of hard to care about what happens to the characters after season 8. I suppose following Jon Snow is smart since you can get away from the consequences of almost everything that happened at the end since he headed north of the wall.

Sequel with Jon Snow after his exile.

could be interesting to see what happened in the areas where the White walkers ruled--Not into the lore of GOT prior to the books--but it was suggested in one youtube video that there was more one white walker king at a time--like with GOT there other, smaller kingdoms

 

[Scotianhab]

Could involve him travelling to some islands. Perhaps even Skaggos etc. need boats for that though so maybe not haha.

I mean as poorly as Jon got written in the last season, and as much as I know more complex and harder to read characters were more compelling, I really liked Jon if for nothing else but that through a substantially different journey he still ended up remarkably similar to his adoptive father. And for all the characters who had to adapt to play the "Game". It was nice to have one character be stubborn about doing what he felt was the honorable thing, even if it inconvenienced others and have that same character make it through to the end.

But I really don't know about this man. They're really going to have to work hard to come up with a compelling climax to work towards with this one. Because on its face, ascendancy as King of the True North doesn't seem all that compelling without some kind of adverse force to overcome.

The ending of the show should have been different. I always thought that the only way to defeat the Night King would have been that somebody was forced to replace him, and relieve him from his curse.

So Night King was exhausted with the role he was thrusted upon and wanted to die to as a normal person and had been waiting for hundreds of years for a person capable/worthy of killing him. Jon Snow seemed primed for this and I thought this would be how the series would progress. The death of NK was massive letdown for the series after all that build-up regarding him.

So Jon Snow would have had to sacrifice himself and save the world by killing the Night King (by NK allowing him to do this) and thus replacing the NK and heading beyond North. And staying there until things get that bad again that Jon Snow (now the incumbent NK) would be forced to head south and "the next winter would be coming".

With that ending it would have made a good sequel to see what Jon Snow as the new Night King would be doing during his hundreds/thousand year waiting for next winter to to happen.

Be 3 seasons of him stacking blocks of ice to rebuild the wall

It's a bit like Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

Please tell me this is a massive misunderstanding and it's actually about the guy who invented Epidemiology.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Could make for some good cameos.

 

[TheAngryHank]

He probably has a dragon ,no?

 

[HanSolo]

He probably has a dragon ,no?

Jon? I mean if this is a show about Jon trying to get Rhaegal to forgive him that could be cool. The other two are dead.

That’s a pretty cool concept actually.

Season 8 of GOT was one of the worst things every produced on Television and for a long time it completely ruined the entire series for me. Knowing how bad it ends after how good the first 6 seasons were(And personally I enjoyed season 7 a lot as well).


But the series was so good aside from 8, that I would absolutely watch this without hesitation.


Honestly, I think if Benioff and Weiss have nothing to do with this, it could absolutely be really good.

 

[Garo]

I don't want it.

 

[JimmyApples]

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm sure they'd make some interesting stuff up, but it's kinda lame north of the Wall right now. Walkers are dead, wildlings are the Night's Watch. Maybe there's some Children of the Forrest, and I'm sure they'd discover some newer stuff up there. I'd rather a series about Robert's Rebellion than this, but it's not the worst idea I've seen.

And also if people don't want to see this, just don't watch it. I'm sure it'll get lots of viewers regardless.

Jon? I mean if this is a show about Jon trying to get Rhaegal to forgive him that could be cool. The other two are dead.

Rhaegal is actually the undead one that was killed in Season 7. Drogon is the only remaining one alive. And I'd say he forgave, or at least understood Jon, when he spared him and burned the Iron Throne.

Nothing wrong with people coming up with their own ideas but I think the direction is pretty easy to see from both ends. On HBO it was "Game of Thrones", and they were still promoting the 'who will win the throne!?' angle to the final season (I believe). The Night King and his army was a distraction Dan & David just quickly get away with so they could get back to King's Landing.

With GRRM's books being A Song of Ice and Fire, and knowing that the show basically finished with some bullet point ideas from Martin, if the books ever finish they should be far more complex and satisfying but I think a Jon & Dany romance with a bittersweet ending is the end goal.

For the topic not really sure what they could do with a continued Jon storyline. Kit Harrington is a much bigger name draw than Maise William but with where they left off Arya's story would be far more interesting.

 

[Blender]

Jon got some peace despite all the terrible shit he went through in the story, I can't see how making a show about him would be interesting without making him suffer even more, which undermines his ending.

You're right. Brain fart.

 

[TheAngryHank]

How's an undead hound going to work?
Ayra has to make an appearance.
Dragon will no doubt show up.
Lots of good things could happen.

Cool. Nobody will force you to watch it.

 

[Garo]

Cool. Nobody will force you to watch it.

man cmon it was an obvious reference

But yes, if I wanted to be serious, an Arya show going to places we have never seen seems like it would be a lot more thrilling on paper than Snow playing in the, well, snow that we have seen for years with various degrees of interest.
