British actor Kit Harington, known for playing the role of Jon Snow in HBO's popular series 'Game of Thrones', has finally admitted that continuing on the show after eight seasons would not have been possible as the cast was just so "tired." For the unversed, the smash-hit HBO series concluded with a truncated final season (just six episodes compared to the usual 10), and the final season outraged fans for its rushed pacing. “I think if there was any fault with the end of ‘Thrones,’ is that we were all so fucking tired, we couldn’t have gone on longer,” Harington said in an interview with British GQ. 

“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," he added.

The British actor also admitted that the makers did end up making some mistakes during the final season.

"I think there were mistakes made, story-wise, toward the end maybe. I think there were some interesting choices that didn’t quite work," he said. 

For the unversed, Kit Harington had earlier told Associated Press that he is not a 'House of the Dragon' viewer. For the unversed, 'House of the Dragon' is a prequel series of 'Game of Thrones', based on George RR Martin's book.

"I just can’t watch it. I think for me it’s just I’ve spent too long there. And I wish them all the best. 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," said Kit Harington.

On the work front, Kit Harington is currently back on HBO as a supporting actor in the third season of 'Industry', which airs new episodes every Sunday.
