Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has said that while he isn’t happy the series is coming to a close, he is satisfied with how the showrunners have concluded the story.
The HBO fantasy drama will return to screens on April 14 to begin its eighth and final run, and Harington, who plays Jon Snow, is excited to share it with fans.
“It’s like when you finish a book, you’re not happy it’s over are you? You don’t finish a good book and say, ‘I’m happy I finished that’,” he said while appearing on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show.
“But you have this grief that it’s over, and it’s the exact same with nine years doing this show.
“No matter how it ended, or how it does end, there’s always this bit of you that’s like, ‘oh’, there’s this loss around it.”
Speaking about the ending in particular, Harington said he is “very satisfied. I’m so excited for people to see it, I think it’s going to be extraordinary, hopefully it’ll change TV again like it did originally, and break boundaries, I think it might.”
Game of Thrones returns to Sky Atlantic on April 14.
