“It’s too weird. I’m so happy it’s happening. I’m over the moon about all the awards,” Clarke added, referring to the present’s Golden Globe win for Best Television Series — Drama earlier this month. “I just can’t do it. It’s so weird. It’s so strange. It’s kind of like someone saying, ‘You want to go to this school reunion that’s not your year? Want to go to that school reunion?’ That’s how it feels. I’m avoiding it.”
Though she hasn’t seen the collection, she did provide some phrases of knowledge to star Emma D’Arcy.

“God, she was so generous. She gave me hours and she was so candid,” they defined. “And she spoke to all areas of that experience. And, I think, very cleverly, held some stuff back. Stuff to do with the release … But I think she was gently preparing me for the incredible stamina that this job requires and sort of priming me for battle, actually, and, yeah, amazing person.”
While Clarke isn’t making an attempt to look again, her former co-star Kit Harrington is making ready to return to Westeros. He’ll reprise the character of Jon Snow in a derivative collection. When viewers final noticed the Targaryen-Stark inheritor, he was despatched to the Wall for killing Daenerys.
“I think if you asked him, he would’ve felt he got off lightly,” Harington, 36, advised the viewers at a December Game of Thrones conference in Los Angeles by way of Entertainment Weekly. “At the end of the show when we find him in that cell, he’s preparing to be beheaded and he wants to be. He’s done. The fact he goes to the Wall is the greatest gift and also the greatest curse.”
The Eternals star continued, “He’s gotta go back up to the place with all this history and live out his life thinking about how he killed Dany, and live out his life thinking about Ygritte dying in his arms, and live out his life thinking about how he hung Olly, and live out his life thinking about all of this trauma, and that … that’s interesting.”
He concluded by teasing, “I think 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 OK. He’s not OK.”
The Jon Snow spinoff remains to be in growth whereas House of the Dragon has been renewed for season 2.
