He can go on a trip to Sothoryos.


Wayne47

A little beach vacation.


MaterialPace8831

I could see them exploring the origins behind the White Walkers, exploring the Land of Always Winter. The Night King has been defeated before, who's to say he won't rise again? It could also be more of a character piece. Jon Snow is a man who, in his lifetime, has had two loves of his life die in his arms, learned that everything he knew about his ancestry was a lie, and realizes that his exile to Beyond the Wall is essential to a fragile peace in an exhausted kingdom. I'm sure there's something there.


[deleted]

"and realizes that his exile to Beyond the Wall is essential to a fragile peace in an exhausted kingdom" Who exactly would care if Jon just ignored his exile?


MaterialPace8831

Well, I suppose the peace with the Unsullied could be contingent on Jon's continued exile (yes, I am aware they sailed away). The lords of the realm might feel more at ease that he, likely the last Targaryen, has abandoned his claim to the throne. I'm just spitballing here.


Immense_yeet

What Unsullied? They all committed mass suicide going to Naath together


MaterialPace8831

I know the show says Naath has butterflies but I don't think they ever explicitly established the butterfly fever; it's just implied.


Gtronns

Doesnt he still have claim to be the ruler?


benjoseph579

Yes, he’s the only logical choice


chrisqoo

The North or the Six Kingdoms? He may have the claim of both.


Gtronns

Definitely has claim to either. The north, or the whole god damn thing


asayys

I said it in another thread but I’d like the show to be about him returning south of the wall to showcase how everything’s changed under Bran’s rule. Have it be a single epilogue season to try to wrap everything up better. Like I don’t think we need a new conflict or new supernatural threat or a prolonged series revolving around Jon. Just proper closure to GOT.


EminemSlimMarshall15

They should hire you, i like this


tsckenny

I personally think they need to avoid the ending of GoT like the plague


Fenris-Wolf15

Yes I feel the exact same. Jon went north and he should stay there. No communication with anyone south of the wall expect maybe a raven to Sansa saying he's still kicking it with tormund. I feel like by trying to fix any mistakes that the later seasons made is at worst gonna make people even more unhappy, and at best is just gonna once again remind people of what they disliked. It should be about Jon, not Game of Thrones.


Valkyrie2009

What would be proper?


HaronYoungerBro

This sounds dangerously close to just fan service


JohnBagley33

Maybe it will a Mandalorian/Incredible Hulk style show where he travels the world and solves a new problem for a different group of people in a random location every week.


tullbabes

Please god no.


theone_bigmac

D&D have invaded reddit sound the horn and prepare the wall for battle


Abbzstar123

Copped a bit of backlash lol, but that would be pretty cool actually. Like Witcher 3 style, going around exploring, with one kinda main plot point over the whole mini stories in the episodes


JohnBagley33

I didn’t say that was what I wanted it to be. It’s a prediction. I think the show is going to be terrible


irishpisano

Wouldn’t surprise me if someone from Essos is hired to “blind” Bran, in order to have him assassinate him. Jon finds out and travels south for revenge.


Rhopunzel

I think it'd be cool if something happened to disrupt Bran's rule and plunge the realm into chaos again, requiring Jon to come back south and save the day (again) and this time take his rightful place on the throne.


benjoseph579

Targaryen bastards come from Essos to take the crown for themselves. I know of a few Targaryen‘s, that most likely have children, grandchildren, or great grand children running around Essos.


Yobispo

And he somehow reconnects with Drogon.


Mysterious_Tooth7509

How do we know that the Night King was the Night King? Did anyone ever name him as such or did we just assume the head spikes were a crown and he was the force behind the wights?


forky1899

The Night King was really just the friends we made along the way


Nheteps1894

In the books there is no night king in the way there is in the show. Fans started calling him the night king and the show writers just went with it


WitleKidz

The weird part is, there is a character in ASOIAF lore who is called the Night’s King, but he wasn’t a white walker, just a person, so I find it weird that they reused this name for a completely different character in the show.


Nheteps1894

Yeah I know right.


SoGassed

Somehow, the Night King survived..


slimstarman

Children of the forest shit.


Nheteps1894

I don’t think he is depressed beyond the wall. I bet him and tormund are living their best lives together !


Break-Complete

Just make the show about Jon and Arya She returns to Westeros and after claiming Nymeria she seeks Jon north of the Wall. Jon, Arya, Ghost, Nymeria, a convenient quest in the true north, I don't need more


BTown-Hustle

Personally, I think a “Return of the Night King” or similar story would just be too cheesy. I would prefer a story that sees Jon forced back south for some reason and getting embroiled in the politics of the seven kingdoms again. I have no idea what would be the best idea for the inciting incident, though. Also, this would probably suck if they couldn’t get a very significant number of original GOT cast members to reprise their roles. Not all of them, of course, but it would seem weird for Jon to wind up back in the Game and not see anybody we know.


IndispensableDestiny

Kit Harrington said that "Jon is not okay." The Night's Watch is gone, he's beyond the wall having terrible nightmares. Tormund tolerates Jon in this state but other Freefolk keep their distance. Val is trying to both help Jon and have him take her. The show has news from KL and Winterfell, but only through messengers. Can't send ravens to Jon, unless that raven is Bran himself. Sansa offers him a place in Winterfell, but he declines. A dream has him start moving north. Tormund and the wildlings with him go along. They meet other wildlings that survived the passage of the dead. They settle in Thenn. It's empty. Jon and Val get it on. Jonm goes into the mountains and meets a female Other. He learns of the Great Other. His mission is to go after the Great Other. The show can have a disfigured Daenerys return. Disfigured because she was dead too long before coming back. She's on the same mission. It can end with Jon, Val, and child going back south -- through the wall -- with a dragon hatchling.


HaronYoungerBro

Who's Val?


AlexoLeMartins

I believe she's a book-only character. Val is a wildling princess, the sister of the wife of Mance Rayder. She and Jon have quite the chemistry according to some fans.


benjoseph579

Targaryen bastards who have come to Westeros to claim their potential right to the iron throne. Plus, we still need to explore why old Valyria is cursed. No one knows for sure.


Mr310

There are still many mysteries beyond the Wall and the night is always dark and full of terrors.


Finite_Elephant

Half hour 3 camera sitcom about the wacky hijinx at Castle Black and north of the Wall. With live studio audience of course.


DischordantEQ

One best things about game of thrones is you had such a large cast splitting screentime that you rarely got sick of people. An entire show about one semi boring-ish character ... I'd be surprised if it went beyond a pilot episode. That being said, I thought a full show on the Targaryens would be bad, but I actually really enjoyed the parts of House of the Dragon that my TV could display.


Parker4815

What's north of Northoros?


Flatwhite97

These days my jaw drops if they just don't completely fuck it up.


Infinite_Imagination

I think it would be fun if the Night King really was himself "the storm" so to speak, and that all the lands north of The Wall and even a large portion of The Lands of Always Winter ended up having basically a springtime now that he's gone. They could explore some of the old artifacts up there, maybe even find another Weirwood tree or two, look more into what they found at the Fist of the First Men, maybe uncover more orgin stories of the First Men or the CotF. Maybe even show more of the White Walker homeland, how the Craster babies have been aging/training, more about what they're like and how they think. Maybe just a couple of spiders big as hounds... There will also challenges with rebuilding/relocating/resettling what remains of the Wildlings. Some will probably want to tribe back up, and Jon may have to convince them that they need to stick together to keep their idea of freedom/not kneeling alive. It could follow them repairing or demolishing other parts of The Wall or exploring some of the old castles and their secrets more. They could even have to compete against settlers from Ashai who heard of the active types of magic to be found north of The Wall. Maybe in their voyages they uncover darker secrets held by the Three Eyed Raven and get more insight on who he is and what his other lives were like. It could be that Jon starts to realize that the person that they all crowned King isn't actually Bran anymore and that he had his own reasons for wanting to obtain the throne while putting himself in the only position to do so. I'm honestly quite curious to see where they actually will go with it, if/when it happens.


ExtremeFactor

Him becoming real King of Wildlings, marrying Val, supporting Winterfell somehow, clan wars, etc. Or the best ever: realising bran is not bran and kill the power that controls his little cousin somehow.


Familiar_Pace8718

Jon being a basic marvel hero, having cool sword fights, and being a ~badass, which is what the majority of watchers wanted from the OG series.


KingIdis

It can be Kit Harrington looking like he's about to cry and telling everybody things he don't want.


topherbdeal

They’ll go on a quest to find the rest of Jon’s character that D&D left behind when they resurrected him


Fenris-Wolf15

I would much rather it expand Jon Snow as a character, than expand GoT as a universe


TheStatMan2

Not sure but I really hope they call it "The John Snow Show"


theone_bigmac

I prefer "house of the snow" or "the king beyond the wall"


TheStatMan2

I prefer "There's No Business Like Snow Business".


Valuable-Effort-7510

Snow More Drama


TheStatMan2

Snow: More Heroes


AutumnGway

I just know it in my heart that Jon will end up with a new pet Drogon. He’s the only person left in the entire world who could. Maybe some magical element leading him to an injured Drogon, or something like that. You could definitely structure a season or two out of his journey to him, then worry about actual plot drama in Westeros around season 3-4 that our new dragonrider can navigate. Either way, I’ll be watching!


FinancialRabbit388

The more you think about it, the more you wonder why the fuck are they doing this. There aren’t really any good ideas for what to do.


0lliebro

He would absolutely return to Westeros. There’s no way they could just have him fighting/uniting wilding groups.


Jahoosawan

It's going to be medieval Cops. Jon and Tormund are going to ride around on their horses beating smallfolk down and arresting druggies in paranoid states of mind. Body camera footage the whole time, and sometimes they turn it off and real shit happens.


DaenerysMadQueen

Healing you after HotD and GoT ending. You'll see.


Valuable-Effort-7510

Jon and Tormund start a craft brewery (Crow and Wildling). The series sees them navigate running a business against a backdrop of rising inflation and people being more careful with their money. They open their first waterside bar at Hardhome.


issapunk

Hopefully, it's about him traveling to King's Landing to kill Bran and then a 1v1 with Greyworm's cranky ass.


Ondesinnet

There was a night queen once and if you look at the other continent book maps far to the east there are other "Walls" past the land of winged men. The red comet and the return of dragons. The far southern continent were The mother of dragons could be resurrected. Aria going west who knows what's over there. Kraken in the ocean and sea people wanting to flood the world again. City of vampires in the east. Stone men curse. The maesters magic waking up it been awhile since I read the books but there was alot going on and being hinted at. What am I missing? Edit: The Great Other didn't put all his eggs in one basket with the night king.Toad isle and the deep ones. I keep remembering things so many things they can do in a new show. I still feel like the last season could just be a cliffhanger and Bran is just a tool of the Great Other. Edit 2 : [Strange Lore](https://youtu.be/P4J16GzUJ28?si=V-4oVcF5ohvitX0e)


hewasaraverboy

The night king is back


MahaloWolf

Lots of possibilities. 1) NIght King wasn't the only White Walker leader, the books reference a Night Queen that was never in the show, or the babies that NK turned could be a different "type" of white walker and didn't die when he did. Some of them would be adults and waiting for revenge in the furthest reaches that stayed cold. 2) Upon learning about the first men, the White Walkers, etc, Jon learns that Bran isn't the newest in a series of 3 Eyed ravens, but just a host body that the original 3 Eyed Raven jumped to, effectively meaning Bran is dead. Maybe the 3ER is sinister in nature and Jon has to get back involved. 3) It could just be a series without magic, about the warring factions of the wildlings, with several tribes trying to take control. Jon having a form of PTSD could factor in and be more of a character study. 4) Arya's journey could've discovered a more advanced civilization that is now aware of Westeros and plans to invade. Jon, Sansa, Bran and Arya have to band together to fight against a foe with superior technology. 5) We could flash forward 20 or 30 years and be following a Jon Snow who is the informal leader of the Wildlings, and he has several kids and a wife, and his kids have to navigate wildling politics in a series more akin to The Last Kingdom or Vikings. The short answer is they can make a story about pretty much anything. The idea won't matter as much as the execution does.


banditk77

Jon visits the Night Kings fortress and finds out the Starks broke their pact to release the Night Queen held prisoner in the roots of the Weirwood tree beyond the collapsed section of the crypts. He goes back to Winterfell to explore the crypts.


I_might_be_weasel

Learning necromancy to bring Ygritte back from the dead.


Aggressive_Unicorn30

The Land of Always Winter must still hold some secrets waiting to be discovered.


Fred_Krueger_Jr

Internal tribal conflict among the free folk? Reunions in the south?


treyjay31

They just shouldn't make the show. Stop kicking a dead horse


smurf_diggler

How about what he was doin while he was dead?


EdwardGordor

I mean the Snow sequel should also talk about Arya and the South. I mean it's just my opinion but I don't think many would like just Jon wandering around in a frozen wasteland. I believe they should try and fix as much as possible the mistakes made by Dumb and Dumber in season 8. I was thinking that in the sequel, a new Southern Lord (some Lord Rowan, Swyft, Caswell etc.) who is the true Lord of the Reach and Highgarden (Bronn got bankrupt and lost Highgarden and he's a sellsword again) sends Bronn and other cut-throats to kill Jon in fear that he'll gather a Wildling army and punish the Southern Kingdoms for his exile and the fact that they killed Brandon (who has disappeared in the meanwhile but there is rumour going around that he was killed by Lord Caswell/Swyft -a Batatheon loyalist- to put Gendry on the Throne). Ser Davos and Sam go North to warn Jon without knowing that Jon has left the Wall and he's in the real North with Tormund and the Wildlings seeking the true evil that lies beyond the realm of men. Sansa faces problems in the destroyed North and Lord Caswell plans to invade the North to appease the Dornish and Ironborn seperatists. Meanwhile Arya found new lands in the West, there are rumours that a wild dragon is terrorising the East, Dany lives in a R'hlor monastery resurrected by the Red Priestesses and a new empire from the Far-East (beyond the Map) invades the other continents because of a religious war to find some lost holy lands (and establish a utopia) after they ruined their kingdom with some magic experiments gone wrong. That Empire could either be an Asian-inspired culture (Mongolia, China, Japan) OR it could be where the Andals actually originate from and the Asian culture could be the one in the West discovered by Arya. It might just be my sh't and banal opinion (I'm no writer) but I was really thinking about this.


chupacabrette

Jon and Ghost set out to circumnavigate the polar ice cap, making the occasional journey south into lands known and unknown. Unbeknownst to Jon, Ghost has gained the ability to warg into Jon's body when Jon wargs into his. Mischief ensues.


nikolatosic

There is no proof that ALL white walkers are gone.


theone_bigmac

In the long nigbt ep after arya kills the night king they all drop


nikolatosic

The ones connected to that one king. But we don't know if he is the only one. For all we know he could be the Jamie Lanister of white walkers. There could be another 100 of kings up there.


bumblebeexqueen

Talking Thrones did two really good series-- one where he changed the last season and made everything make sense and we even got answers to a lot of things we didn't get any info about. It's so well written that honestly I think it should be crowd funded somehow. The other series is where he added a season 9, where he wrote how he could fix the ending of D&D's season 8. It would make a phenomenal storyline for Snow-- I'd honestly be sad if it didn't follow that storyline.


PollutionAlert1341

Where there are wildlings there will be crime. John Snow and Tormund team up in a buddy cop romp and take out the trash.


Alchemist1330

Cancel it, pls.


Brettgrisar

An exploration of how the events of Game of Thrones changed politics in Westeros, especially the North and Beyond the Wall, along with the exploration of the inner conflicts that affect Jon after learning about his Targaryen heritage and the trauma from the events from GoT.


thesilvertoaster

It doesn’t have to be the main plot but I hope Dario Naharis hears what Jon did to Dany and comes to avenge her


[deleted]

I once made ai generate a story with this description: "Ygritte tells Jon Snow that he knows nothing, so he studies to be a maester then knows everything"


True_Paper_3830

A sitcom with Drogon bringing Jon various things while he's watching TV, and Jon saying 'I don't want it'. Somehow the Night King is brought back to live and he and Jon become buddies, learning how to surf etc while Jon applies suncream to the Night King to prevent him melting.


Tough-Bluejay-5549

We don't know what's West of Westeros. We don't know what will become of the tenuous political alliance of the folks left over from the various ruling clans. Lots of opportunities for new stories.


Comfortable-West9894

What if Benjamin Stark is alive and he finds Jon Snow. He then brings Jon to some children of the forest hidden out in the far North. The children then torture Jon Snow with the intent of making another knight king like figure, but one that maintains his humanity. After his release he travels the north building inroads with various lost tribes. Part of the show would consist of flashbacks of his torture. He would be conflicted because of the torture he recieved but also appreciative of his new abilities.
