A Game of Thrones star sent Kit Harington a message about the Jon Snow spin-off – but never heard back

Upcoming Game of Thrones spin-off Snow most likely won't include a fan-favorite character, judging by the latest update. 

The series is set to focus on – you guessed it – Jon Snow, and will be set after the events of the notorious Game of Thrones season 8, making it something of a sequel. Kit Harington will reprise his role as Jon Snow himself (AKA Aegon Targaryen, you might remember). 

Liam Cunningham, who played Davos Seaworth in the fantasy show, has given a disappointing sign that he won't be part of the new series, however. "I did send [Kit] a text saying, 'Better Call Davos,'" Cunningham told Den of Geek (before the SAG-AFTRA actors' strike). "I haven’t heard anything back."

He added: "You probably know more than I do." It does sound like he'd be open to returning, however: "I wish them the best to whoever's involved in it, and if the check is big enough, I might even show up again!"

Davos ended season 8 as a member of King Bran's Small Council. Considering Jon Snow went north beyond the Wall at the end of the series, it's not a complete surprise that Davos probably won't show up in Snow, unless the spin-off is also set to check in on King's Landing. 

House of the Dragon season 2 is currently still filming in the UK and, judging by set photos, it's set to feature a Wall-related departure from the books

It remains to be seen if Davos Seaworth will ever appear on our screens again, but, in the meantime, check out our roundup of the best Netflix shows streaming now to fill out your watchlist.
