The English actor also addressed the shelved HBO spinoff series based on his GOT character, Jon Snow.
Kit Harington is revisiting the internet’s backlash over the “Game of Thrones” finale and said he “might agree with” the critics.
“I think if there was any fault with the end of Thrones, [it] is that we were all so fucking tired, we couldn’t have gone on longer,” Harington said in a new interview with GQ Hype that was published Monday.
“I understand some people thought it was rushed and I might agree with them. But I’m not sure there was any alternative,” Harington said. “I look at pictures of me in that final season and I look exhausted. I look spent. I didn’t have another season in me.”
HBO’s hit show ran for eight seasons, from 2011 to 2019, and is widely considered one of the greatest epic TV series of all time. However, the final season left many fans disappointed and questioning the show’s lackluster ending.
Harington conceded that “there were mistakes made” regarding the show’s trajectory.
