Not many characters survived the end of “Game of Thrones.” Fans grew quite accustomed to seeing many of their favorites die throughout the show’s run on HBO, and death became a regular part of the storyline. However, the few characters who did make it out of the series finale alive could now potentially be back for the brand new sequel series, which will focus on Kit Harington’s character, Jon Snow. However, details about the new show are being kept under wraps, and no other cast members have been revealed at this time. So, fans have no idea what to expect when it comes to any Starks, Baratheons, Lannisters, or Targaryens that may find their way into the series.
Meanwhile, there are other characters not related to the “Game of Thrones” main families that could also possibly appear on the show. One of those characters was Grey Worm, a loyal and faithful follower of Daenerys Targaryen. Grey Worm escaped the final with his life, albeit Dany did not. Jon was forced to kill the character after she went mad with power and killed many innocent people while trying to take the iron throne from Cersei Lannister.
However, because Jon killed one of the most important people in Grey Worm’s life, actor Jacob Anderson, who’s currently starring in the AMC adaptation of “Interview With A Vampire,” says he’s unsure if the character would return for the sequel show.
“I think it would be pretty tense if he did [appear in the new spinoff with Jon Snow]. I think the only way Grey Worm would show up in that show is to kill Jon Snow,” Anderson told E! News. “I don’t think Grey Worm would want to see him again. I think that was quite a significant condition of [Jon] living, was like, ‘I don’t ever want to see your face again. I’m going to go my way, and you’re going to go your way, and that’s that.’ I’d be very surprised if we saw Grey Worm again.”
All the while, other former “Game of Thrones” actors have weighed in on the possibility of returning for the Jon Snow series. “It’s obviously a very exciting prospect, so never say never,” Maisie Williams, who played Arya Stark told People Magazine. “I’m still kind of piecing together what I think it should be, what I think would make people happy, and what I think would be fulfilling as well, as an actor, to do some kind of transition. We can’t just do the same thing that we did — it’s got to be new.”
Gwendoline Christie also admitted that she’d also like to reprise her role as Brienne of Tarth. “I love the sound of the Jon Snow spinoff. I really do,” Christie told Collider. “There are so many directors I would love to work with, and I want to create different kinds of work. That is my focus. However, I will never stop loving Brienne of Tarth, and I will never stop being interested by her.”
