Game of Thrones' Kit Harington says he'll never watch House of the Dragon
"I don't think I'll ever watch that show."
Kit Harington has admitted that he doesn't watch Game of Thrones spin-off series House of the Dragon – and he has no plans to either.
In a new interview with Associated Press on the red carpet for the premiere of Industry season 3, which Harington stars in as new character Henry Muck, the actor explained that he "just can't watch" anything from the world of Westeros.
"I think for me it's just I've spent too long there," he said.
"And I wish them all the best and I hear it's wonderful and going really well. But I don't think I'll ever watch [House of the Dragon], and I don't think I'll watch Game of Thrones again for very many years."
Harington won't be returning to the Game of Thrones universe on-screen for the foreseeable too, after he confirmed that his Jon Snow-centred spin-off was "off the table".

In an interview with Screen Rant earlier this year, the actor explained that the project was in development but "currently, it's not".
He shared: "I hadn't really ever spoken about it, because it was in development. I didn't want it leaked out that it was being developed, and I didn't want the thing to happen where people kind of start theorising, getting either excited about it or hating the idea of it, when it may never happen. Because in development, you look at every angle, and you see whether it's worth it.
"And currently, it's not. Currently, it's off the table, because we all couldn't find the right story to tell that we were all excited about enough. So, we decided to lay down tools with it for the time being. There may be a time in the future where we return to it, but at the moment, no. It's firmly on the shelf."
Harington isn't the only Game of Thrones star yet to tune into the prequel series either, with Emilia Clarke previously telling Variety she just "can't do it".
"It's so weird, it's so strange," she said. "It's kind of like someone saying, 'Do you want to go to this school reunion that's not your year? You want to go back to that school reunion?' That's kind of how it feels. I'm avoiding it."
House of the Dragon season 2 came to an end this week, with the final episode achieving a season-high viewership in the US, although this was slightly down on the climax to season 1.
