The British actor admitted he feels connected to Jon Snow after starring in the hit fantasy epic since 2011. Kit continued: “He’s dear to me. I’ve lived with him for so long. I think I’ve come into a place of feeling quite emotional about him, actually, knowing that I’m not going to get to go back to him after next year. “I’m really trying to just take stock of having lived this sort of dual life with this character, and being through so much with this character. “It’s been a strange journey, but I’ll always be fond of it.” The premiere date for season seven was finally revealed earlier this month, but Kit and fans of the show are already wondering how the hit series will end. “I just finished season seven, and I am already counting down the days until I get the season eight scripts," he said.
