Doesn't make any sense, there already was Jon Snow sequel.

Fool me once....

I would love to learn about Jon Snow future.. especially with such a horrid ending.. however, I don't trust D&D if they are the showrunner.. the 7th and 8th season was a massive failure.

---

Has anyone said that D&D are going to be involved with any of these spin-offs? They aren't with House of Dragons, and I doubt they will be with any of the other ones.

I could see him going on a journey east to find the ancestral lands of the Targaryen's, since (as far as he knows) he's the last surviving member. I remember the books building up the Doom of Valyria in a pretty interesting and mysterious way.

But yeah, hopefully it's new show runners. GOT quality dropped hard when the show outran the books and they couldn't just cherry pick their favorite GRRM threads anymore.

This is my feeling on anything GoT

If they are going to make a sequel, I want the hound brought back to life for a series about arya and the hound traveling the countryside fighting injustice..like a buddy cop version of the hulk TV show

The worst part is that they're going to get Tormund Giantsbane to be in it, and then i'll have to watch it, no matter how much it sucks, cuz that's my main man.

How about:

• Drogon finds Jon in the north. Jon can tell he wants him to go with him.
• They go to Valyria where Drogon had taken Dany's body. Jon finds a prophecy that leads him to believe Dany can come back.
• He goes to Asshai (we finally get to see this place) in search of the magic needed.
• Dany comes back to life.
• Dany isn't the same and once again goes evil. Jon has to kill her again.
• Jon is now even more depressed than the first 2 times he lost his love.
• Jon returns to the North and Ghost.
• Ghost has learned to talk and says "You ****ing left me again?" and rips Jon to shreds.
• D&D step on screen and say "Did you like Bran's story in the sequel series? It was the most interesting, right? Wasn't Sansa so smart? Were your expectations subverted?"

Seeing some reports that a sequel to Game of Thrones centering around Jon Snow is in early stages of development.

As a massive ASoIaF fan, I'll take any new content I can get, but I honestly don't know how this series would work. I doubt he could stay north of the wall for the entire series, but going south wouldn't really work if the rest of the GoT cast wasn't set to reprise their roles.

The many prequel options just make more sense based on the outlines they already have.

This is a dangerous road. Look what happened to Star Wars

I like it, but I want to double down with.

There are more White Walkers, and the Night King actually served the Night Emperor, and now Jon has to stop them single-handedly.

Ice Spiders, everywhere! Every scene!

Ygritte has a twin sister for Jon to fall in love with that we forgot to mention before.

Jon goes to visit Sansa at WInterfell and there are a trio of bards performing who look suspiciously like the Jonas Brothers.

Drogon revealed to be trans.

Yep. The GOT conclusion and really the final two seasons are just so mind-blowingly bad it actually makes me never want to get invested in any show ever again, but especially another GOT show.

Let's be honest… many don't care about prequels or spin offs because of how they ended the series and what they did to John Snow. Not a bad idea to try and do something to give him a better ending/future after their epic failure. That said, I don't have much hope here.

Really annoying, give us a Dunk and Egg or Robert's Rebellion prequel. Show us Barristan the Bold earning his name or Jamie being knighted for beating the Smiling Knight. The legendary knights of Westeros are what I want to see

"Somehow, the Night Emperor returned…"

If this series states that season 6,7,8 of GoT were all Jon's dream while dead and it starts with the Red witch bringing him back, I might watch.

No interest to go back to this world.

It's amazing how quickly this franchise went from universally "cool" to passe.

People bemoaning the end of GOT has become one of the ultimate beatdown dogpiles.

Yep, there are still 6 to 7 seasons of good to great episodes that are enjoyable to rewatch.

Echoing tk for tu Juan above...

Yeah, especially in light of the fact that EVERYTHING ELSE, save for the ending, was phenomenal television. So it's weird to me to hold the writers accountable for ONLY the ending, ignoring the fact that they're the same writers who made the show so incredible to begin with, season after season after season.

They were so good for so long, in fact, that they became burned out, and in their exhaustion, simply took their eye off the ball at the end, thinking they could wrap up two seasons worth of story in one. It was a miscalculation, due to seeing what lied past the ending (spending more time with their families, no more spending six months of every year in foreign countries, moving onto a new franchise, etc). They were human beings going through very human emotions, who didn't suddenly become horrible writers worthy of all this vitriol.

And this is coming from someone who still has GoT fatigue / thinks all these spinoffs are going to be far too much for an audience that's becoming less and less interested. But the pure hatred toward the writers for the ending is so weird to me. I wish it would have ended better too, but I at least understand *why* it ended the way it, and got over it years ago.

You don't think outrunning the source material had anything to do with the story falling apart?

They knew what Martin had planned. And sure, without the exact nuance/plotting/character detail of the books to work from, that probably affected things somewhat. But Benioff & Weiss were SO accustomed to writing the characters and the world by that point - they knew it all so intimately - that no, I don't think the lack of source material had much to do with it. I mean, they're on record as saying that they were simply were ready to move on. They had one last, big push in them to wrap it all up, but unfortunately, the story almost assuredly required two full seasons - two last, big pushes - to properly get the job done. And sure, maybe there was some hubris in thinking they could do it all one, but I don't blame them for wanting to spend more time with their families, wanting to not spend so much time abroad, etc.

I still think its simpler that they just didnt have the ability to actually tell the story themselves. They did a GREAT job adapting the written books into an excellent tv show. There's also certainly truth in what you have written, that they had more going on and ook their eye off the ball.

This show is most likely going to depend on who the writers are, and what they can accomplish (captain obvious)

I also think everyone will at least tune into this show, regardless of how much they complain about the ending of GoT.

People say this but then forget that all of S6 was written solely by them, which contains the two highest rated episodes of the show.
