A Song of Ice and Fire [[]]

A Game of Thrones[[]]

In the first book of the A Song of Ice and Fire series,
fourteen-year-old Jon Snow and two of his half-brothers Robb Stark, also
fourteen, and seven-year-old Bran Stark witness the execution of a
Night's Watch deserter carried out by their father, Lord Eddard (Ned)
Stark. Jon is the illegitimate son of Eddard Stark, the Lord of
Winterfell and Warden of the North. When his sons reach the age of
seven, Eddard has his sons witness executions to teach them the gravity
and finality of the tasks they must undertake when they become men and
to follow the Stark custom of carrying out sentences themselves.
Nineteen-year-old Theon Grejoy, Ned's hostage/ward, also accompanies Ned
and Ned's sons at this execution.

[2] https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Jon_Snow

Of all the spin-offs this piece will cover, the as-yet unconfirmed Jon
Snow spin-off remains an utter mystery as there is no clear plot moving
forward. Bringing back a fan-favourite character for a limited series
seems a good bet from a marketing and recognition standpoint, but it
begs the question… does this franchise really need that?

THE PLOT

Unlike the Robert’s Rebellion spin-off, for example, the plot of the Jon
Snow spin-off remains wholly speculative. But there are some interesting
stories that could be tackled, depending on how much longevity HBO views
this show to have. How does Jon continue to adjust to knowing his true
heritage? How is he coping following his killing of Daenerys in the
final season of Game of Thrones? What is the relationship like between
the Night’s Watch and the Wildlings in a post-White Walkers world?

LIKELIHOOD

The potential plot raises interesting questions, and we could all do
with more Tormund Giantsbane in our lives, but the show feels very much
like a reaction to the Season Eight finale, as opposed to a
well-thought-out concept. Having said that, given that it’s been
rumoured and discussed for a long time in the trades, you can bank on
this one hitting your screens sooner rather than later.

Odds via Betway: 14/1

Dunk and Egg

[Brienne of Tarth]

Brienne of Tarth is a descendant of Ser Duncan the Tall, the Dunk of
Dunk and Egg.

...

LIKELIHOOD

The likelihood of this spin-off being made seems fairly low. Not one of
the characters to shine in the original show, sadly due to a more
drastically diminished role than he deserved, the chances of him pulling
in casual viewers remain low compared to, say, a Jon Snow spin-off.

Odds via Betway: 3/1

We’re likely to revisit the Game of Thrones universe in another form
soon enough outside of House of the Dragon. What form that takes remains
to be seen, but we’d bet on one of these.

If you thought, however, that a Robert’s Rebellion spin-off seemed most
likely, or the Jon Snow story was a dead cert, the oddsmaker tells us
different. While a show covering Robert’s Rebellion is priced at 4/1 — a
20% chance of coming to fruition — it’s an animated anthology series
that the oddsmaker has actually deemed most likely at 5/2 — or a 28.6%
chance of getting the go-ahead. This is closely followed by a Mance
Raydar spin-off at 3/1, or 25%. The Jon Snow story, meanwhile, comes in
at a highly unlikely 14/1, or an outside chance of 6.7%. Must be all
those false starts…

I've been doing entertainment and culture journalism for a short period
of time, and I love writing about my fandoms. From A Song of Ice and
Fire, to Marvel, to Star Wars and Lord of the Rings - I always have
something to say.

...

The Rebellion ended during the Battle of the Redgrass Field, a notorious
event in Westerosi history, but lasted for around a year, dividing the
Seven Kingdoms in half between Targaryen loyalists and Blackfyre rebels.
From the political struggles and slanders that existed during the reign
of Aegon and the early reign of Daeron, to the attempted arrest of
Daemon Blackfyre and his escape from King’s Landing with Ser Quentyn
Ball, as well as the many battles and skirmishes leading up to the
Redgrass Field, all of these events make for a fascinating time in
Westerosi history. One that would be perfect for fans of the original
series to sink their teeth into.

LIKELIHOOD

There’s a chance that the events covered in House of the Dragon might
mean HBO won’t want to tell another Targaryen civil war-style story, but
the popularity of the story within the canon will be too much to pass
up. It’s not as likely as a Robert’s Rebellion show, but it’s hard to
imagine HBO passing up the chance to bring this story to the screen.

Odds via Betway: 6/1

Jon Snow Spin-Off

[]

Who wouldn't want more Jon Snow?

Of all the spin-offs this piece will cover, the as-yet unconfirmed Jon
Snow spin-off remains an utter mystery as there is no clear plot moving
forward. Bringing back a fan-favourite character for a limited series
seems a good bet from a marketing and recognition standpoint, but it
begs the question… does this franchise really need that?

Much later in June 2022, THR leaked that a sequel show focusing on Jon
Snow was in development. On June 23, 2022, George R.R. Martin confirmed
in a blog post that not only was the project real, but it was the
creation of Kit Harington himself. Moreover, Martin revealed that the
project - with the working title "Snow" - had been in development for
almost as long as the other current pitches, and he considered it
co-equal with the other three live-action successor shows. He went on to
say that the project was actually so far along in development that
Harington had already put together his own team of screenwriters, who
had met with Martin in person, and they had already produced multiple
draft scripts for it. Martin emphasized, however, that all four of these
live-action projects including Snow have not been greenlit and there is
no guarantee that any of them will be produced.^([41])

Thus from about 2020 to 2021, the "second wave" of prequel pitches
consisted of:

-   Tales of Dunk & Egg (with Steve Conrad attached)
-   9 Voyages of Corlys Velaryon (with Bruno Heller attached)
-   Nymeria & the 10,000 Ships of the Rhoynar (with Amanda Segel
    attached)
-   Snow (a sequel focused on Jon Snow, developed by Kit Harington
    himself)
-   Flea Bottom (a nascent idea that was rejected very early on)
-   3 animated projects, one of which is Yi Ti
-   Quite separately, a Broadway stage-play about the Great Tourney at
    Harrenhal, produced by George R.R. Martin himself (which has been
    definitely ordered and is set to premiere in 2023).

The Murder on the Wall[[]]

In the early months of 301 AC, just as the Winds of Winter began to hit,
an assassination attempt was made upon the life of Lord Commander Jon
Snow. Many questions the circumstances around this attempt, with several
saying that they saw Jon's body, pale eyed and stabbed -- dead as can
be. These people go on to say that he was resurrected by the sorceress
Melisandre or he warged into his Direwolf to escape death. Others say
that the assassination attempt was a lie, an attempt by someone to
besmirch the good name of The Night's Watch. Whatever happened during
this event would led to Jon Snow leaving his post with the Night's Watch
to march south towards the Dreadfort with a host of wildlings aligned
with Tormund Giantsbane. Jon was marching to assist his fellow Northerns
and in his mind to rescue his sister from the hands of Ramsay Bolton.

...

Marriage[[]]

Jon married a woman of free people, called Val, with whom he had three
children, who would prove to be as worthy as his father in the coming
years.

Lord Regent Jon Stark[[]]

A few years after the War for Dawn, Wyman Manderly died, leaving Jon
Snow the clear candidate to be Regent of the North until Rickon Stark
came of age. Jon agreed and would later find himself being legtimized by
Aegon VI Targaryen as Jon Stark at the behest of his half-sister, Sansa
Stark, the now Queen of Westeros. As Jon Stark, Jon would fight on
behalf of House Stark until his death, claiming fame during conflicts
such as the Sons of the Kraken and the Frost Uprising of 337AC. Jon
would die a few years after the uprising. Due to a wound inflicted by
the bow of a band of outlaws, who ravaged the northern lands and whom
Jon hunted down and brought to justice. Jon passed away contained in his
Winterfell chamber and surrounded by family, and his faithful direwolf,
Ghost.

Legacy[[]]

Jon Snow is seen as a legendary figure, responsible for winning the
North back for House Stark as well as saving humanity in The War for the
Dawn. Many refer to Jon Snow as Azor Ahai and almost all remember him
fondly, despite many of his deeds appearing unclear in the annals of
history. His Valyrian Steel sword, Longclaw has passed through the
generations of House Stark since his death.

However, death has changed Jon. Despite his honorable convictions and
previous commitment to the Night's Watch, his experience of being
murdered by his own men and then revived has made Jon somewhat more
cynical and nihilistic. No longer believing in himself and his ability
to face the coming threat, due to being murdered for doing what he
thought was right - Jon abandons the Night's Watch, despite knowing full
well how dangerous the threat looming beyond the Wall really is. He
loses his determination about fighting and becomes much more lonely and
melancholic only speaking when he hasn't any other choice. Also, Jon
feels remorse for hanging his former steward Olly, even though the
latter did murder both him and the woman he loved. While he is wary of
conflict since his return, his love for his family has brought him back
into the fight. To this end, Jon chooses his family over the Night's
Watch - a choice he once attempted to make when Robb marched off to war
but forsook in the past. When Ramsay decides to play a "game" with
Rickon, Jon once again chooses his family by attempting to save his
little brother's life, even at the cost of his own life and battle
plans.

The revelation that he is a Targaryen has made no difference to Jon; he
has remained loyal to his roots as a Northman and a Stark.

Relationships[[]]

...

Upon seeing the body of his dead master, Ghost howls in mourning from
his pen. His cries summon Davos, Edd and a handful of other black
brothers who quickly move Jon's body to his quarters. They quickly
realize that Thorne was most likely the orchestrator of Jon's demise,
and free Ghost to help them protect Jon's body while Edd leaves to find
Tormund and the Wildlings. Melisandre also looks at Jon's body and
claims that she had seen a vision of him fighting at Winterfell, though
Davos remains adamant that Jon is gone for good. Thorne later approaches
Davos and the loyal brothers with a promise of amnesty if they throw
their weapons down and surrender, though they refuse to back down,
despite Thorne's threats of death if they don't.^([54])

A Fandom user·7/5/2016in TV series discussion

Jon Snow is not rightful king of Seven Kingdoms

People say that since Jon is Rhaegar's son, he is rightful owner of Iron
throne.

However, this is NOT TRUE because of three reasons.

First, there is no proof Rhaegar and Lyanna married. Rhaegar may have
wed Lyanna but there is no Septon nor witness who oversaw the ceremony.
So even if he is proven to be Targaryen, he still is assumed bastard and
Dany, living legitimate daughter of last KING, preside before Jon,
bastard son of PRINCE.

More serious matter is that there is no proof he is Targaryen. Bran may
come back and tell the truth but so what? It's just saying of a crippled
boy who occasionally have seizure... What proof is there? Even his hair
if black not silver! In addition, Jon is described as splitting image of
Ned. It says in the book that Cat was actually jealous that the bastard
looked more like Ned than her own son. There is no proof that Jon is
actually Targaryen and people including Dany will just laugh off he Jon
claim his heritage.

The revelation that he is a Targaryen has made no difference to Jon; he
has remained loyal to his roots as a Northman and a Stark.

...

It should be noted that Aegon's book character has not been merged with
Jon's show character, just because they have the same first name; Aegon
is considered dead in the show.

It has long been believed in Westeros that only members of the Targaryen
bloodline can easily bond with and ride dragons - which is one of the
reasons they so readily accepted Daenerys (though that was also because
she hatched them, becoming their adoptive mother). The revelation about
Jon's real parentage means that he may potentially bond with one of
Daenerys's three dragons in a future novel - after all, she has three
dragons but only personally rides Drogon, the largest. To a lesser
extent, this might also be true of the Baratheons - Robert was Rhaegar's
second cousin in the books. With the deaths of Stannis and Shireen in
the TV series, the only living member of the Baratheon bloodline is
Robert's bastard son Gendry (who is, in fact, Jon's third cousin). House
Martell also intermarried with the Targaryens but not recently, about a
century ago: in the books Doran Martell's middle son Quentyn (cut from
the TV show) traveled to Meereen and explicitly hoped his small amount
of Targaryen blood would be enough to make the dragons trust him and try
to mount one, but he got roasted alive instead.

Later, after the television series continues where the novels leave off,
it is revealed Jon is the son of Lyanna Stark, Eddard's younger sister,
and Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, making Jon not only the nephew of Eddard
and cousin of Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon but also the true heir
of the Iron Throne. This also makes him the nephew of Daenerys Targaryen
and Stannis Baratheon's second cousin once removed. Jon did not know his
real parentage with only Eddard knowing the truth. However, Eddard
claimed Jon as his illegitimate son to protect him from the Baratheon
regime. Unaware of their blood connection, Jon and Daenerys fall in love
and become lovers. However, as of the fifth book A Dance With Dragons,
this revelation of Jon's parentage is not yet confirmed. Jon is Lord
Commander of the Night's Watch, a thousands of years old organization
that guards the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros against any threat that comes
from north of the Great Wall protecting them.

In the sixth season of the television series, Jon is resurrected and
later elected the new King in the North after his late brother (revealed
to be a biological cousin) Robb Stark. In the seventh season, Jon Snow's
real name is revealed to be Aegon Targaryen and the heir to the Iron
Throne, ahead of Daenerys.

He was portrayed by Kit Harington, who also played Milo in Pompeii,
Black Knight in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and voiced Eret in the
How to Train your Dragon franchise.
