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. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5336938/kit-harington-on-game-of-thrones-finale/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5336938/kit-harington-on-game-of-thrones-finale/"},"headline":"Kit Harington Has Been 'Quite Emotional' About the Game of Thrones Ending All Week","datePublished":"2018-07-12T16:11:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:53:49.371Z","description":"\"It's been this amazing journey\"","url":"https://time.com/5336938/kit-harington-on-game-of-thrones-finale/","keywords":["Newsfeed","game of thrones","Kit Harington"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2565bacd3fc76d35/6989353abc6cfc02f33e6710/kit-harington.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2565bacd3fc76d35/6989353abc6cfc02f33e6710/kit-harington.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"HBO's Official Golden Globe Awards After Party - Arrivals","caption":"HBO's Official Golden Globe Awards After Party - Arrivals","creditText":"Paul Archuleta—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5336938/kit-harington-on-game-of-thrones-finale/","name":"Kit Harington Has Been 'Quite Emotional' About the Game of Thrones Ending All Week"}}]}] ```
