A Jon Snow sequel is officially in the works, and this spinoff series could very well feel like Game of Thrones season 9 in everything but name. When Game of Thrones concluded in 2019, HBO had already made it clear that there were plans to further explore the world of Westeros.
At that time, however, the expectation was that the spinoffs would be entirely new stories, with little to no direct connection to Game of Thrones. While prequels seemed likely, sequels appeared unlikely.
That perspective has shifted with the announcement of a Jon Snow sequel, where Kit Harington reprises his iconic role, continuing his journey after the events of Game of Thrones. Snow is set to be its own unique series, with a fresh creative team at the helm—without the involvement of showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
However, despite this shift, the spinoff will remain deeply tied to its parent show. As a result, it will essentially serve as the closest thing to a Game of Thrones season 9.
