Ned Stark’s Return To Game Of Thrones: How Sean Bean’s Wish Can Come True In 1 Upcoming Spinoff

Sean Bean has expressed interested in returning as Ned Stark, and there is one upcoming Game of Thrones spinoff show that would allow it to happen. Bean’s Ned Stark defined Game of Thrones in myriad ways: the actor was the biggest name attached when the show was just beginning on HBO; Ned’s shocking death in season 1, episode 9 proved that no character was safe and set in motion major plot points; and by Game of Thrones‘ ending, Ned’s remaining children were all winners of the game in one way or another. Ned may have only appeared in 12% of the show’s episodes, but his legacy was there until the very end.
