‘Game Of Thrones’: Kit Harington Explains Where Jon Snow Was Going In The Last Scene

Game of Thrones Kit Harington Jon Snow HBO George RR Martin

Kit Harington cleared up questions regarding Jon Snow’s destination in the final scene of Game of Thrones.

After killing Daenerys Targaryen, Kit Harington’s Jon Snow was imprisoned while the Lords and Ladies of Westeros considered his fate. While some wanted Jon Snow freed, others believed he deserved severe punishment for murdering the Dragon Queen. Ultimately, a comprise was reached that resulted in Kit Harington’s Jon Snow being sent back to the Night’s Watch for the remainder of his life.

However, the final scene of Game of Thrones concluded with Kit Harington’s Jon Snow traveling beyond the wall with the Free Folk, seemingly to join them. Unfortunately, it appears some were unsure about the meaning behind the final scene, with some wondering if Jon Snow was really traveling beyond the wall permanently or if he simply escorting the Free Folk, perhaps on a range mission. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kit Harington confirmed Jon Snow was venturing beyond the wall to spend the rest of life with the Free Folk:

“[S]eeing him go beyond the Wall back to something true, something honest, something pure with these people he was always told he belongs with — the Free Folk — it felt to me like he was finally free. Instead of being chained and sent to the Wall, it felt like he was set free. It was a really sweet ending. As much as he had done a horrible thing [in killing Daenerys], as much as he had felt that pain, the actual ending for him was finally being released.”

How do you feel about the fate of Kit Harington’s Jon Snow? Do you think Kit Harington should win an award for his final year playing Jon Snow?  Let us know below!

While Game of Thrones has come to an end, the franchise is set to continue with a prequel series. Details on the Game of Thrones prequel are still under wraps, though the series is said to be set roughly 5,000 years before the events of George R. R. Martin’s original story.

The pilot for the Game of Thrones prequel will be directed and executive produced by S. J. Clarkson. The series stars Naomi Watts, Josh Whitehouse, Toby Regbo, Ivanno Jeremiah, Georgie Henley, Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheila Atim, Alex Sharp, Miranda Richardson, Marquis Rodriguez, John Simm, Richard McCabe, John Heffernan, and Dixie Egerickx.
