Kit Harington joins an HBO series (and it’s not the Jon Snow show)
By Dan Selcke
Game of Thrones veteran Kit Harington has lined up a new gig at HBO: he’ll appear in the third season of Industry, a coproduction with the BBC about a group of young finance pros competing for positions at the high-powered investment bank Pierpoint & Co.
According to Deadline, Harington will play Henry Muck, the founder and CEO of a green energy company called Lumi. Lumi is about to go public, and the characters at Pierpoint want to get in on the ground floor.
Interestingly, Harington played a tech entrepreneur trying to address climate change in the recent Apple TV+ drama Extrapolations. Maybe he’s carving out a new niche for himself now that Game of Thrones is good and over?

Or is that series truly dead and buried? There’s been plenty of talk lately about a potential sequel show about Harington’s character Jon Snow. HBO hasn’t officially said that any such series is in development, but Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin let the cat out of the bag a while ago, and Harington has addressed it since, although he’s been careful not to give away any firm details.
Harington joining Industry doesn’t really mean anything for the Jon Snow show, although if you want a jolt of hope you could reason that it proves that he and HBO are maintaining a good relationship. We can expect new episodes sometime in 2024.
