Harington mentioned that he hadn’t discussed the Jon Snow series when it was in development because he didn't want to keep it from being "leaked out " and avoid people starting to theorize or react to the idea "when it may never happen."


The Baby Ruby movie actor further mentioned that the series is currently "off the table," noting that they couldn't find the "right story" to tell, so they decided to pause the project for now. However, the actor acknowledged that there might be a chance to revisit it in the future, "but at the moment, no. It's firmly on the shelf."

Meanwhile, Kit Harington is starring as Henry Muck in the third season of the British television drama series Industry, whose first episode will premiere on Max on August 11.
