HBO is developing a Game of Thronessequel series revolving around the continuing adventures of Jon Snow, with actor Kit Harington attached to return. George R.R.

At the end of Game of Thrones, Jon was banished from Westeros for killing Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), his lover and newly-revealed aunt; he went north beyond the Wall with the Wildlings and finally seemed to be at peace.
