New Game of Thrones play The Mad King might retcon Jon Snow's season 8 plot
A new play titled "The Mad King" suggests that Jon Snow's parentage and claim to the Iron Throne in Game of Thrones season 8 may be retconned from George R.R. Martin's books. The play implies Jon is a bastard, as Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark's marriage is not explicitly shown, and Lyanna does not name her son Aegon before dying. This contrasts with the TV show's depiction and potentially aligns Jon's storyline with the character Young Griff.
