Kit Harington Shuts Down Any Return as Jon Snow in Audiobook

Kit Harington, best known for his portrayal of Jon Snow, has made it clear he’s not interested in stepping back into the shoes of the iconic Game of Thrones character—at least not in audio form. While promoting his work as Gilderoy Lockhart in the Audible Harry Potter series, Harington was asked about the possibility of voicing Jon Snow for a Game of Thrones audiobook. His answer left little room for doubt.

"No, god no,"

Harington replied, taking the question as a suggestion that he might reprise his role.

"I don't wanna go anywhere near it. I spent 10 years doing that. Thanks, I'm alright."

Spin-Off Series Hits a Dead End

Harington had previously been attached to a Jon Snow spin-off series, simply titled Snow, which would have picked up after the events of the original show’s eighth season. The project, however, never made it past the development stage. Harington explained that the creative team spent years trying to find the right direction, but nothing ever truly sparked their passion.

"We spent a couple of years back and forth developing it. And it just didn't... nothing got us excited enough,"

he shared.

"In the end, I kind of backed out and said, 'I think if we push this any further and keep developing it we could end up with something that's not good.' And that's the last thing we all want."

Westeros Moves Forward

While Harington is stepping away from the world of Westeros, the franchise itself is far from over. Fans can look forward to more stories set in the same universe, with House of the Dragon season 3 and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms both scheduled to premiere in 2026. Additionally, a fourth season of House of the Dragon and a second season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms have already been confirmed.

The first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is set to debut on January 18, 2026. For those eager to keep their watchlists full, there’s no shortage of new TV shows on the horizon for 2026.
