Game of Thronesis coming to an end and it sounds like Kit Harington may be having a harder time letting go than most fans.

Harington, who of course plays broody Jon Snow in HBO's Game of Thrones, reflected on years of working on the series in an interview with Deadline, where he expressed how emotional he is about the impending end of the hit series.

Harington told Deadline that being so close to the end of the series is weird and strange and hard to explain, but he tries his best, revealing that he's more emotional about it than he thought he would be:

I will say I think I’m understandably more affected by it than I thought I would be.

You know I wasn’t quite cynical about things, I’m quite straightforward and English. But, really, eight years of your life is a long time to connect with anything. I didn’t know at the beginning if this would be a show that no one would watch or if it would be a show that a lot of people would watch. And I’ve never been in a situation, a show, that’s lasted this long. In my life it’s pretty significant thing that’s happened to me, and coming to the end of it is understandably quite emotional.

We feel you, Harington.

Part of that emotion may be coming from the fact that Harington, and likely some of the rest of the cast, is feeling pressure to deliver for the finale.

"I think there’s a certain pressure I’ve not felt before," Harington told Deadline. "Whereas before, every year there’s always been a bit of pressure, this season is one where we could easily let people down. Obviously, we don’t want to do that so we’re very much stepping up everyone’s game which is very apparent, at least to me."

Season 8 is in the middle of shooting, and so far Harington said things are going well.

"These days are long and a grind but we’ve got the first section out of the way, and all is well," he said. "All is good."

The rumor right now, straight from Sansa Stark actor Sophie Turner, is that the eighth and final season will air in 2019, although there's no saying HBO won't start airing the season in 2018 at the very least.
