Kit Harington has said the 'magic is gone' from the Game of Thrones family, admitting in a new interview that much of the cast has drifted apart since the HBO juggernaut wrapped in 2019. Speaking to former co-star Peter Dinklage for Variety's Actors on Actors series, the Jon Snow actor said the Game of Thrones cast had been 'desperate' to separate and get on with their lives after nearly a decade together.
Game of Thrones ran from 2011 to 2019 and became one of the most-watched and dissected TV dramas in history, spawning conventions, fan pilgrimages to filming locations and years of online obsession. Its sprawling cast often felt, to viewers, like a tight-knit troupe welded together by sub-zero shoots in Belfast and Croatia, but those relationships were always likely to be tested once filming ended and everyone scattered to new jobs.
