Kit Harington<\/a> was “genuinely angered” by a fan petition calling for the final season of Game of Thrones to be remade.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old actor was shocked by its negative backlash and the almost two million people who signed the unofficial Change.org petition, as he knew how hard its writers, David Benioff<\/a>, 55, and D.B. Weiss, 54, worked to create it.<\/p>\n

Kit told the New York Times: “That genuinely angered me. Like, how dare you? Sorry, that\u2019s just how I feel. I think it was a level of idiocy that can only come about through social media.”<\/p>\n

The eighth and last series of the HBO fantasy drama aired in 2019 while Kit – who played Jon Snow – was in rehab for alcohol addiction and stress, and after he returned, the star was confused by its disapproval from fans and critics.<\/p>\n

In August 2024, Kit told GQ Hype: “I went in, and everyone loved Thrones; I came out, and everyone hated it. I thought, ‘What the f*** is going on?!'”<\/p>\n

\nReflecting on the final season of Game of Thrones – which ran from 2011 until 2019, he thinks one “fault” was that its cast and crew “were all so f****** tired, we couldn’t have gone on longer”.<\/p>\n

\nKit – who starred in the drama alongside the likes of Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) and Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) – added to the magazine: “And so I understand some people thought it was rushed, and I might agree with them. <\/p>\n

\n“But I\u2019m 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.”<\/p>\n

\nDespite criticising the millions of fans for not liking the finale season of Game of Thrones – in which Kit said one battle scene took 55 consecutive nights to film – he recognised that “everyone is entitled to their opinion”.<\/p>\n

\nKit said: “I think there were mistakes made, story-wise, towards the end, maybe. I think there were some interesting choices that didn\u2019t quite work.”<\/p>\n
