After the hit series "Game of Thrones" ended, Kit Harington took a break. Now he's returning on a Netflix series.
Long, curly, almost shaggy hair, a distinctive beard and fur over the shoulders: Most people think of this picture of Kit Harington (33) when they think of the British actor. As Jon Schnee in the hit series "Game of Thrones" he was impressed over eight seasons in the memory of millions of viewers around the world. From Wednesday (September 16), Harington can be seen on the Netflix series "Criminal: United Kingdom". In the second season of the anthology series, he appears as a suspect in the police interrogation room.
For the 33-year-old, it's the return to the camera. For "Criminal: United Kingdom" he also presents a different look. A perfectly styled short hairstyle and a smoothly shaved face should be a bit unusual for one or the other Jon Snow fan. In addition to Harington, "The Big Bang Theory" star Kunal Nayyar (39), Oscar-nominated actress Sophie Okonedo (52) and Sharon Horgan (50) play other suspects in the series.
In 2021 Harington comes to the cinema as a Marvel hero
After the end of the fantasy epic "Game of Thrones", Kit Harington took a long break. The Briton retired to a wellness clinic "to work on some personal issues". A spokesman confirmed this to "People" magazine at the end of May 2019. In the coming year Harington will be seen as a superhero in the cinema. He appears as Dane Whitman, better known as Black Knight, in "The Eternals" part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is scheduled to open in Germany in February 2021. The cast also includes Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie.
