Millions of Game of Thrones fans will be celebrating after it was announced that Kit Harington will reprise his role as the stoic Jon Snow in a new Game Of Thrones spin-off. The series is set to be a sequel following the character, who became a fan favourite during the eight-season fantasy epic.
Game of Thrones attracted record audiences all over the world for HBO. Each episode reportedly cost $6 million (£4.8 million) to make.
Jon Snow is the illegitimate son of the Stark family who took up a post in the Night’s Watch to guard the realm of men from the sinister White Walkers. Game Of Thrones saw Snow journey north of the wall, returning to be named Warden of the North, before learning that he was in fact descended from the dreaded Targaryen family.
