He told Digital Spy:
"[Game of] Thrones is coming to the end at the right time for me, and everyone involved in it. "I was exchanging emails with David [Benioff] Dan [Weiss] last night and we were all getting very soppy and emotional with each other. "It will be liberating, just the thought of having a whole year free - you shoot for six months, but half of the projects you might want to do will have started shooting before that six months is over. "There's a lot of things you can't do. I'm looking forward to finishing, and eight years is the right amount of time."
The actor hinted that he may take on more of a producer role after appearing in the BBC One's latest drama Gunpowder.
He explained:
"Game of Thrones is coming to a very quick end, which I'm feeling emotional about. I've learned working with the Thrones producers what the job involves.."I found the producing side of Gunpowder fascinating, I would like to do more of it.
"I've found it's opened up a different side of my creative brain, which I've really enjoyed."
The HBO drama recently began production on it's eighth and final series, and the six-episode season is speculated to be airing in 2019.
Harington's Game of Thrones co-star Liam Cunningham recently explained that due to the epic filming schedule, fans could be waiting for a little while before they see more of Westeros on screen.
He told TV Guide:
"[The episodes are] definitely going to be bigger and what I hear is longer. "We're filming right up until the summer. "When you think about it, up until last season we'd have six months to do ten episodes, so we're [doing] way more than that for six episodes. "So that obviously will translate into longer episodes."
