Jon Snow won't appear in any of the Game of Thrones spinoffs, according to Kit Harington.
In an interview with GQ Italia (via Digital Spy), Harington confirmed he won't be a part of any of the new shows. "I think there's going to be spinoffs, but I'm not going to be involved in any of it," Harington said.
