The Status Of Snow Explained
Snow Was Shelved This Year
Though this concept trailer is an interesting imagining ofSnow, its ideas will never get off the ground. After the series had reportedly been in the works for two years, it was announced in July that theJon Snow show would be shelved indefinitely. Jon Snow actor Kit Harington mentioned at the time that the series was “off the table” because theGame of Thronesspinoff’s team “couldn’t find the right story to tell.“Harington did say that “there may be a time in the future where [they] return to it,” but thatSnowwas not happening for now.
It is best that theGame of Thronesuniverse does not spread itself too thin.
Since the initial cancellation ofSnow, Harington has continued on to say other comments that indicate that theactor may not be interested in continuing in theGame of Thronesuniverse. Earlier, the actor said that he has “spent too long” in theGame of Thronesuniverse, citingfatigue as a reason that he has not caught up withHouse of the Dragonseason 2. Even more recently, Harington admitted that he “kinda backed out” ofSnowwhen the development of the project was not going as planned.
With the recent commentary from Harington, any hope of theSnowproject returning seems less likely. The cancellation may be for the best, as its star warned that they “could end up with something that’s not good” if they continued their development forSnow. WithHouse of the Dragon’s reviewsstaying positive in season 2 and more sequels in development, it is best that theGame of Thronesuniverse does not spread itself too thinand potentially force projects that the cast does not sound enthusiastic about. Should Jon Snow ever return to screens, it should be for good reason.
Is The Snow Concept Trailer Realistic?
The Video Features A Number Of Potential Storylines
Theend ofGame of Thronessaw Jon exiled beyond the Wall after murdering Daenerys in an attempt to cut her mad reign short. Presumably, the sequel series would’ve followed him in a new adventure far north alongside the Wildlings, and some of the arcs it could have included are mentioned in the imagined trailer. For example,Jon likely would’ve been tormented by his decision to kill Daenerys, who was both his lover and, as he later discovered, his blood relative. This could have opened the door for a cameo from Emilia Clarke as well.
Perhaps more intriguingly,Snowmight have provided the opportunity for Jon to wrestle with his Targaryen blood. InGame of Thrones,Jon learned he was the legitimate son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, and thus was not a bastard as he had always thought. More than that, he was a prince. However, the speed ofGame of Thronesseason 8 did not allow Jon the time to truly process it, and the plot didn’t do much to factor it in. A sequel show would actuallygrant Jon the time and space to reckon with where he came from.
Beyond character work, theSnowconcept trailer raises the idea of Jon venturing to the darkest depths of the North, and the Wall melting even further. It is true thata sequel show would allow for greater exploration of the space beyond the Wall, and could feature additional villains and locations. Unfortunately, this could also be a reason it got shelved, as it would probably be very expensive. It would be interesting to see these ideas brought to life, but theGame of Thronesspinoffcurrently seems destined to remain fodder for speculation and fan creations.
