Los Angeles: The "Game of Thrones" sequel centered on fan-favorite, impossible-to-kill character Jon Snow is in early development, according to Hollywood trade reports.
The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, citing anonymous sources, said that Kit Harington — whose arch warrior Snow was last seen exiled from Westeros in the "Thrones" finale — is engaged to the star.
HBO declined to comment, and representatives for Harington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
If the show gets the green light, it will be the latest in the fast-growing television universe based on the fantasy novels of George R.R. Martin.
Three live-action prequel series are already in the works — including "House of the Dragon," which will hit screens this August — as well as three animated prequels.
But the alleged Jon Snow series will be set first after the events of the smash hit "Game of Thrones," which hooked into 2019 with a deeply divisive final season.
While many of the major characters died, Snow – who appeared as Aegon Targaryen, the potential heir to the Iron Throne – left Westeros in exile, headed for the icy and wild north.
His character had already been brought back from death after being betrayed in the show's run.
News of a potential spin-off drew mixed reactions from fans online, with some pleased to see a more arguably standout character from "Thrones," and others questioning the logic of taking off from the original show's disappointing finale.
A popular post on Reddit said, "Brother at this point redo last season... we won't be mad at you and you have to make all that money again and get a chance for a fabled ending."
During its eight-year run from 2011, "Throne" was a global phenomenon, setting a record 59 Emmys with its warring families and fire-breathing dragons, medieval violence.
Martin signed a five-year deal with HBO in 2021, reportedly worth "mid-eight figures" in dollars, to develop shows both within and outside the "Thrones" universe.
