Fans of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” continue to rejoice, as the filming process of the hit fantasy series’ eighth season has finally begun.
But if the show’s star Kit Harrington’s latest indications are true, fans will be once again subjected to an emotional rollercoaster in the final season.
The 30-year-old English actor, who plays the brooding Jon Snow, teased a grim fate for some of the show’s most beloved characters.
“We had a read through last week in fact, so I know everything now,” he said in an appearance on BBC’s The One Show.
“You have to remember that eight years of it no one really cares about it more than us. I get a bit weepy thinking about it,” Harington, who recently got engaged to former co-star Rose Leslie, shared.
“It’s going to be a strange year saying goodbye to everyone and having last scenes with this person and that person.”
He added: “But I cried at the end—not over anything particular that happened—but it’s been 8 years and no one cares about it more than we do.”
Currently, the studio has yet to confirm the final season’s air date, but by the looks of it, the show won’t air until 2019. /ra
