‘Game Of Thrones’ Star Kit Harington Admits To ‘Mistakes’ In Final Season: ‘We Were All So F***ing Tired’

“Game of Thrones” actor Kit Harington weighed in on the controversial final season of the hit HBO series, saying he agreed with some of the criticism voiced by fans. 

“I think if there was any fault with the end of Thrones, is that we were all so f***ing tired, we couldn’t have gone on longer,” the 37-year-old said in a recent interview with GQ Hype. “And so I understand some people thought it was rushed and I might agree with them. But I’m not sure there was any alternative. 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.”

Harington played the character Jon Snow, who was thought to be a bastard but turns out to be the secret love child of royalty in the series. 

“Everyone is entitled to their opinion,” he told the outlet. “I think there were mistakes made, story-wise, towards the end maybe. I think there were some interesting choices that didn’t quite work.”

Fans complained that the last season of “Game of Thrones” felt rushed and lacked the character development and emotional depth of previous seasons, which is part of what made the series so popular. Viewers were also disappointed with the resolutions for most characters, including Harrington’s Jon Snow.

There were rumors of a spinoff featuring Jon Snow, which Harington also discussed during the GQ interview.

“What I can tell you is it was HBO that came to me and said, ‘Would you consider this?’ My first reaction was no,” the actor explained. “And then I thought there could be an interesting and important story about the soldier after the war. I felt that there might be something left to say and a story left to tell in a pretty limited way.”

Harington said they “spent a couple of years back and forth developing” the series, but “nothing got us excited enough.”

“In the end, I kind of backed out and said, ‘I think if we push this any further and keep developing it we could end up with something that’s not good. And that’s the last thing we all want,’” the actor concluded.
