Kit Harington recently shared his thoughts on the final season of HBO's Game of Thrones, acknowledging that mistakes were made in creating the ending of the popular series. The actor expressed that the ending may have felt rushed, but he also understood the challenges faced by the exhausted cast and crew.
In a recent interview with GQ, Harington reflected on his experience during the final season, stating, 'I think if there was any fault with the end of Thrones, is that we were all so tired, we couldn't have gone on longer.' He admitted that looking back at pictures from that time, he appeared exhausted and spent, indicating that he didn't have another season in him.
Addressing the backlash to the series finale, Harington acknowledged that there were mistakes made in the storytelling towards the end and that some creative choices didn't quite resonate with the audience.
Furthermore, Harington discussed a shelved Thrones spinoff titled Snow, revealing that HBO had approached him about the project. While initially hesitant, he saw potential in exploring the post-war experiences of a soldier. However, after years of development, the project failed to excite the team, leading Harington to step back to avoid producing subpar content.
Expressing his desire to avoid being typecast as Jon Snow, Harington emphasized the importance of taking on diverse roles to showcase his range as an actor.
Industry season three, in which Harington stars, premiered on HBO recently, marking his return to the screen in a new role.
