Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke will not watch the prequel
The second season of the series "House of the Dragon" concluded in 2024 on HBO. This was reported by Upl.uz.
Currently, active work is being done on its third and fourth seasons. The fourth season will be the final part of the series.
This prequel is expanding the world of "Game of Thrones" and generating great interest among viewers. However, the original series actors prefer to stay away from the new project and do not share the general interest related to it.
Kit Harington, who created the character Jon Snow in "Game of Thrones," recently revealed the reasons for not watching "House of the Dragon." In an interview, he mentioned that he has not seen any part of the prequel and does not plan to rewatch the original series.
According to the actor, he spent many years in this imagined world, and now that period has come to an end for him. Kit Harington emphasized that he does not oppose the new project and wishes success to its creators, but he prefers to move forward.
Emilia Clarke, who played the role of Daenerys Targaryen, expressed a similar sentiment. In an interview with "Variety," she stated that she deliberately does not watch "House of the Dragon."
The actress compared watching the series to a reunion of readers, emphasizing that it has no relevance to her. Emilia Clarke also stated that she does not wish to return to the world of Westeros as a viewer.
This attitude towards "House of the Dragon" is widespread among the stars of "Game of Thrones." Since their activities related to the original series were significant for many of them, returning to this world evokes mixed feelings.
Working on "Game of Thrones" lasted for years and became an inseparable part of many people's lives. Therefore, watching the prequel feels like returning to the past, and they prefer to stay away from it.
Opinions among viewers and critics regarding the series vary. Some praise the project for its scope and attention to detail, while others believe it does not reach the level of the original series.
Nevertheless, HBO confirmed that it will be extended for several seasons. This shows that the prequel has its own audience, even if it does not include the stars of "Game of Thrones."
Kit Harington once mentioned that after the filming of "Game of Thrones" concluded, he underwent therapy to cope with the emotional pressure that arose from his long-standing work as Jon Snow.
