Hollywood actor Kit Harington has an update associated with his character Jon Snow's spinoff series of the Game Of Thrones series.

Kit Harington updates his fans on his beloved character’s spinoff series
Kit Harington provided devoted Game of Thrones fans with a disappointing update about a potential spinoff series centered around his beloved character, Jon Snow.
The Pompeii actor confirmed that the project on Jon Snow’s character was no longer in development and was shelved for the foreseeable future after writers and producers "couldn't find the right story to tell."
"I hadn't really ever spoken about it, because it was in development," Harington told Screen Rant. The actor added, "I didn't want it leaked out that it was being developed, and I didn't want the thing to happen where people kind of start theorizing, getting either excited about it or hating the idea of it, when it may never happen."
Harington elucidated that the people involved "look at every angle" to "see whether it's worth it."
"Currently, it's not," he confessed, further adding, "Currently, it's off the table, because we all couldn't find the right story to tell that we were all excited about enough. So, we decided to lay down tools with it for the time being."
Though a spinoff may be revisited in the future, Harington shared that it was "firmly on the shelf."
When Kit Harington addressed rumors about the spinoff series
In February last year, Kit Harington talked about the rumors about an upcoming spinoff series centered around his character Jon Snow during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon but kept quiet about a potential role reprisal.
Although Kit told host Jimmy Fallon, "I can't say anything," Harrington joked that he could be swayed to star in another GOT-related series if it meant he would get more attention in public.
He teased, "I don't know, man ... I walk down the street and I get recognized a little less nowadays, and it kind of hurts my ego, you know?" The actor then continued, "I'm pretty close to like putting on some furs."
"I got a tally in my head of how few photos I get asked for in a day," Harington said, further adding, "And when it gets below a certain number, I think I'll do a spinoff."
Meanwhile, Kit Harington is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Blood For Dust. It will be released in cinemas on April 19 this year.
