Jon Snow may know nothing but Kit Harington, the actor who plays him, knows plenty when it comes to his character’s storyline on this season of Game of Thrones. Last season, Snow successfully defended The Wall from the Wildling invaders but lost his love Ygritte (Rose Leslie) in the fighting.
With Wildling leader Mance Rayder (Ciaran Hinds) captured, Snow is dealing with the self-proclaimed king Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane), as well as his witchy mistress Melisandre (Carice van Houten). Harington spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the new season. Here are some highlights.
On his impression of this season
“I think this is the first season I’ve topped Peter [Dinklage] in having the most shoot dates on the calendar. There’s a lot of Jon in there. I’m really proud of this season. I think across the board it’s going to be very, very strong. I watched The Sopranos, and season 5 was the favorite, and we were modeled after The Sopranos—so hopefully it will be a good one.”
On how Jon Snow has changed
“He doesn’t have time to mourn. We saw him mourn at the end of last season, when he burns Ygritte. And this season he only mentions her once—in a scene where he’s being come onto by Melisandre. He’s got bigger things at hand. If he’s missing her, it’s internal. He’s hardened, in some ways, this season. He’s also got to play more politics this season, which he’s not good at. He’s lost his love, but he’s also lost his brother, his father, his stepfather. He thinks he’s lost both stepsisters and his other brothers too. He’s used to loss and he’s gotten good at dealing with it.”
On feelings towards Melisandre
“He’s incredibly intrigued by her. I find it endlessly funny that he really fancies redheads. One dies, and another comes along, and he’s all, “Hello!” There’s mutual interest between them that we see right from the get-go. There’s definitely a future there this season, with him and her. Who knows what Melisandre sees in people, but she’s obviously obsessed with bastards and noble blood. There’s obviously something a bit special about him in this story, and she locks in on that. So this season she tries to seduce him. That’s her power play. It’s going to be an interesting battle!”
In related news, ABC News also caught up with Harington to discuss season five and what is next for his character. We also asked him to summarize seasons one through four in just 20 seconds.
“We’ll give it a go!” he said.
