English star Kit Harington, who starred in the fantasy series Game Of Thrones as Jon Snow, said that he was left furious at the online petition to remake the much-criticised eighth season with "competent writers" as he felt it was insulting to the efforts of showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.

Harrington told the New York Times newspaper: "That genuinely angered me. Like, how dare you? Sorry, that`s just how I feel. I think it was a level of idiocy that can only come about through social media."
