He's not okay: Harington on Snow killing Daenerys at end
Harington first began speaking about how the show ended with his character killing Daenerys. "I think if you asked him, he would've felt he got off lightly," said Harington.
"Where we leave him at the end of the show, there's always this feeling of like...I think we wanted some kind of little smile that things are okay. He's not okay."
The pitch
Harington presented the idea of the sequel title

Harington once said he didn't want to return to 'GoT'
Harington once said that he wasn't willing to return to GoT. In a 2018 interview, he said, "Would I want to go back and do more? Not on your life."
"...If, like me, you go all the way back to the pilot, that's almost 10 years of your life. That's really unusual in an actor's career."
Thankfully, his thoughts have changed.
