But endings are bittersweet, as Harington is currently experiencing. In a new interview with [BBC Radio 2](https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06dd69z) alongside fellow actor and[ _Lovesick_ star](http://time.com/4779560/thirty-shows-half-hour-sitcoms/item/lovesick-2/) Johnny Flynn, Harington reflected on the final days of his _Thrones_ journey, calling himself “quite emotional” as the series comes to a close. “I actually just wrapped on Thursday last week,” explained. “It’s been this amazing journey, and I kind of said to them in my wrap speech that it’s always been more than a job. It’s like they were a family and it was my life.” He added: “I’ve loved every minute. I’ve been quite emotional the last week, thinking about having ended, having finished it.” _Game of Thrones_ debuted on HBO back in 2011, and has since become a global phenomenon. Its final, much-hyped season [is scheduled](http://time.com/5332432/maisie-williams-goodbye-game-of-thrones/) to come out some time in 2019. Harington was on the radio show to promote his upcoming turn in the [Sam Shepard stage play](http://www.playbill.com/article/game-of-thrones-star-kit-harington-and-johnny-flynn-to-headline-west-end-premiere-of-sam-shepards-true-west) _True West_ alongside Flynn, premiering on London’s West End this winter. ## Transcript [00:00] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] I [00:05] mean I don't know [00:19] where you go [00:26] from here.
