Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington, who famously portrayed Jon Snow, acknowledges that he finds it difficult to watch the spin-off series House of the Dragon.
“I simply cannot watch it.” I believe that I’ve just been there for too long. And I hope that everything is going well for them; I wish them the best. However, I doubt I’ll ever watch that program, and I doubt I’ll watch Game of Thrones once more for a few years,” Kit remarked.

Kit is not the only actor from Game of Thrones dealing with this problem. The show’s Daenerys Targaryen actress, Emilia Clarke, said to Variety last year, “I just can’t do it.” It’s so strange, so strange, so weird. It resembles someone asking, “Would you like to attend this school reunion even though it’s not your year?” Would you like to revisit that school reunion? That’s the general feeling. I’m staying away from it.
Season 4 of House of the Dragon will conclude. HBO revealed that the fourth season of House of the Dragon, its Game of Thrones prequel series, will conclude. During a press conference to discuss the Season 2 finale, showrunner and co-creator Ryan Condal disclosed the information.
Condal revealed that the third season of the program is presently in the writing stage and is scheduled to premiere in early 2025. Condal said that he is still in talks with HBO over the number of episodes for Season 3, but he anticipates that the show will continue to go at the same pace as the eight episodes of the second season.
Kit Harington, renowned for his portrayal of Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, has openly discussed his reluctance to watch its prequel, House of the Dragon. In an interview with The Associated Press, Harington explained, “I just can’t watch it. I think for me it’s just I’ve spent too long there.” He added, “I wish them all the best, and I hope, I hear it’s wonderful and going really well. But I don’t think I’ll ever watch that show, and I don’t think I’ll watch Game of Thrones again for a few years.”
Harington’s sentiment is shared by his co-star, Emilia Clarke, who portrayed Daenerys Targaryen. She remarked, “I just can’t do it. It’s so weird, it’s so weird, it’s so strange. It’s kind of like someone saying, ‘Do you want to go to this school reunion that’s not your year? You want to go back to that school reunion?’ That’s kind of how it feels. I’m avoiding it.”
Both actors have expressed a desire to distance themselves from the Game of Thrones universe for the time being, focusing instead on new projects and personal growth.
