Game of Thrones is coming back. Well, it kind of never went away but it’s coming back with a new HBO Max series that will serve as a sequel to the global fantasy drama phenomenon and feature a fan-favourite character, just not the one I’m looking for.
Clearly, something has drawn him back, however. It’s just out of all the characters to base a Game of Thrones spinoff around, Jon Snow isn’t the most interesting of the bunch. Don’t get me wrong: I like the character. I like Kit Harrington but let’s be honest, there are a dozen more faces that would make a show far more compelling.
So let’s look to the land of Westeros as to who is alive, who exactly should get their own show and why it should be picked up from HBO Max.

Then in Season 8, he’s absent for most of it – not even bothering to turn up for the Battle of Winterfell or battle of King’s Landing. Just appears in the finale to claim Lord of Highgarden and Master of Coin. That’s very Bron to be fair. Still, we needed more and a series devoted to the sellsword, learning more about his backstory and getting up to all kinds of debauchery has the makings of a good time.

Tyrion Lannister

The fan favourite: Tyrion Lannister. This one seems an easy win yet will be completely down to whether Peter Dinklage is willing to return, as the actor is certainly not short of work, appearing Avengers: Infinity War, I Care a Lot and more recently headling Cyrano. The issue here is that we last saw Tyrion being appointed as the Hand of the King, serving Bran the boring, I mean Broken.
There’s potentially something there with the everyday workings of King’s Landing, which may even see the youngest Lannister venture to one of the six kingdoms. Maybe a second chance for love? I’m still not over Shae. Either way, it would be great to get more from Tyrion and wash away the horrible aftertaste the series finale left.
Bonus: Ser Brienne of Tarth

At the conclusion of Game of Thrones, Brienne of Tarth was left as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, a somewhat logical endpoint. It has to be said though, following the dismal handling of Brienne and Jaimie Lannister’s relationship that resulted in a one-night fling, the character deserves better. I could imagine a spinoff where Brienne is sick of being in King’s Landing and decides to venture home to Evenfall Hall of House Tarth. As the only sole survivor of the name, this could create an interesting paradigm. Anything has to be more satisfying than what really happened.
Of course, there’s already another Game of Thrones show in the works withHouse of the Dragon starring Matt Smith, set to premiere in August this year. So it seems we won’t be short of Game of Thrones series anytime soon, for better or worse.
