Almost five years after the final episode of Game of Thrones, fans of the hit series have something to look forward to. Kit Harington and Sophie Turner, who portrayed the beloved characters of Jon Snow and Sansa Stark, respectively, will be reuniting in an upcoming gothic horror film called The Dreadful. This exciting collaboration is written and directed by Natasha Kermani, known for her work on Lucky and V/H/S/85.
In Game of Thrones, Sophie Turner captivated audiences with her portrayal of Sansa Stark, one of the daughters of Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully. Kit Harington, on the other hand, brought the enigmatic Jon Snow to life. As the series concluded, it was revealed that Jon Snow was, in fact, Aegon Targaryen, the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. Now, the talented duo will venture into a very different world from Westeros in their latest film endeavor.
According to Deadline, Turner and Harington will be the stars of The Dreadful, a gothic horror story set against the backdrop of the Wars of the Roses. The film centers around Anne (played by Turner), a woman living a bleak and solitary existence on the fringes of society with her mother-in-law, Morwen. However, the arrival of a mysterious man from her past (played by Harington) forces Anne to confront a series of events that will leave an indelible mark on her life.
Since the conclusion of Game of Thrones, Sophie Turner has continued to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. She appeared in films such as X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix, portraying the powerful mutant Jean Grey. Turner has also ventured into other projects, including the thriller Every Last Secret, the Netflix teen comedy Do Revenge, and the animated series Storybots: Answer Time.
Kit Harington, too, has expanded his acting repertoire. He joined the Marvel universe in the highly anticipated film Eternals, portraying the character Dane Whitman, also known as the Black Knight. Additionally, Harington has been seen in films like Baby Ruby and Blood or Dust, as well as in TV series such as Modern Love, Extrapolations, and Lot No 249. He also made a notable appearance in the series Industry.
While the Game of Thrones universe has expanded with spin-offs like House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, fans have been eagerly wondering if Jon Snow will ever have his own series. HBO has been considering various spin-off ideas to further develop this powerful franchise, but according to author George R.R. Martin, no official confirmation has been made regarding any of these projects, except for the ones already announced by HBO.
For now, fans can anticipate the return of House of the Dragon with its second season, which is set to premiere later this year.
