Game of Thrones' ending may already reveal what is next for Tyrion Lannister in the franchise, as well as what audiences can expect of him in Jon Snow's sequel series. The new Game of Thrones sequel will mainly follow Jon himself, but there is the possibility that other well-known characters might be involved in his storylines, including Tyrion. At the end of Game of Thrones, Tyrion is the mastermind behind most of the storylines of the final episode. Not only does he persuade Jon to kill Daenerys Targaryen, but he is also the one to suggest that Bran Stark should be made king of the seven kingdoms, after which he is named Hand of the King.
A reunion between Jon and Tyrion may not seem likely, given the fate of each character during Game of Thrones' ending. In the finale, the former joins the Night's Watch in the North, while the latter remains in King's Landing as the Hand of the King. However, the Game of Thrones final episode possibly reveals that Tyrion and Jon could meet again in the future. In their last scene together, Jon says goodbye to Tyrion, not expecting to see his friend again. Tyrion, on the other hand, is not so sure about that, stating that "a few years as Hand of the King would make anyone want to piss off the edge of the world."
Why Tyrion Should Return In Jon Snow's Game Of Thrones Sequel
As suggested in their final scene together, it is not only possible that Tyrion and Jon will meet again in the Game of Thrones sequel, but it would also be beneficial for the new series. This is because Tyrion is one of Game of Thrones' most beloved and compelling characters. Adding him to the Jon Snow spin-off would ensure a funny and dry tone to the show, thanks to the witty remarks that Tyrion is known for throughout the entirety of Game of Thrones.
Furthermore, it would give Game of Thrones viewers the opportunity to see Tyrion's future for themselves. In fact, the Game of Thrones sequel is a chance for the franchise to redeem itself after what is considered by many to be a disappointing season finale. In particular, featuring Tyrion in the Jon Snow spin-off could restore the character's essence of honor, wit, and moral decency that won over audiences during Game of Thrones' early seasons. However, all these qualities seem to disappear as the seasons go on, particularly in season 8.
What Tyrion's Story Could Be After Game Of Thrones
Tyrion becomes the Hand of the King at the end of Game of Thrones. In the Jon Snow sequel series, Tyrion may now be trying to keep the realm at peace, using the Houses' strengths and weaknesses to prevent Westeros from descending into another war now that the North is independent and loyalties may be questioned. Tyrion is a character that is known for doing what he thinks is right. It is not so far-fetched, then, to imagine that in the Game of Thrones spin-off, he might want to communicate with Jon in the North. Perhaps, he might even attempt to even end Jon's exile if Westeros needs a proven hero to save it from itself once more.
