Liam Cunningham wants to return to Westeros in Kit Harington's upcoming "Game of Thrones" sequel series.

"I did send a text saying, 'Better Call Davos,'" Cunningham told Den of Geek of reaching out to Harington while cheekily referencing Bob Odenkirk's Emmy-nominated "Better Call Saul."

"I haven't heard anything back," Cunningham, who was promoting his upcoming film, "The Last Voyage of the Demeter," added. "You probably know more than I do. I wish them the best to whoever's involved in it, and if the check is big enough, I might even show up again!"

Cunningham played fan-favorite Ser Davos Seaworth on "Game of Thrones" who was one of 37 characters to survive the hit series which ran for eight seasons on HBO, airing a divisive finale in 2019.

In June 2022, The Hollywood Reporter reported a "GoT" sequel series for Jon Snow is in development, with Harington reprising his beloved character. 

"Game of Thrones" creator George R. R. Martin subsequently confirmed the series in a blog post a week later, announcing the working title for the show is called "Snow." Martin added that the spin-off, which was Harington's idea, is not officially greenlit. 

On the show's final season, Snow learned he wasn't the illegitimate son of Ned Stark. Instead, he's the secret son of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, making him a potential heir to the Iron Throne. 

The series ended with Snow exiled to the North after killing his aunt — and lover — Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke). Seaworth ended the series serving under King Bran as Master of Ships.

"Snow" is one of a few "Game of Thrones" spin-offs currently in development at HBO.

The list also includes a Nymeria series, "Ten Thousand Ships," a Sea Snake series called "Nine Voyages," and a Dunk & Egg series, which Martin referred to as "The Hedge Knight" or "Knight of the Seven Kingdoms."
