Kit Harington, who played Jon Snow in the hit TV series Game of Thrones, revealed that he cannot watch the prequel House of the Dragon or rewatch the original series after spending too much time on the show.
Emilia Clarke, who played Daenerys Targaryen, also admitted she will not watch House of the Dragon, likening it to attending a school reunion, and feeling strange about watching a new take on a show where they spent their formative years.
House of the Dragon is a prequel series set 200 years before Game of Thrones, focusing on the Targaryen siblings during the Dance of the Dragons civil war.
Season 2 recently ended with a season-high viewership in the US, although slightly lower compared to the season 1 finale. The show is available for streaming on HBO Max in the US and Sky NOW in the UK.
Harington confirmed that his proposed Jon Snow spin-off project in the Game of Thrones universe is currently "off the table" due to a lack of a compelling story, despite being in development earlier.
Despite not watching Game of Thrones again, Harington is still involved with HBO and will appear in the third season of the series "Industry," which premieres on BBC One, iPlayer in the UK, and HBO in the US from August 11.
