‘Game of Thrones’ siblings Sophie Turner, Kit Harington kiss in ‘Dreadful’ trailer



Winter is coming.

“Game of Thrones” fans can catch Sophie Turner and Kit Harington, who played siblings on the fantasy HBO series, in their new movie “Dreadful” on Feb. 20.

This time around, the actress, 29, and actor, 39, play love interests.

In Thursday’s newly released trailer, the gothic horror film sees Turner ask, “Where is my husband?” to which Harington comes on screen.

Other shots include the pair kissing, lying in bed together, and the activist lovingly holding his wife’s face.

The movie follows “Anne (Turner) and her mother-in-law Morwen (Marcia Gay Harden) who live a solitary, harsh life on the outskirts of society – but when a man from their past returns (Harington), he will set off a sequence of events that become a turning point for Anne,” per the synopsis.

Fans rushed to social media to share their reactions over the on-screen pair playing husband and wife.

“Sophie and Kit taking a page out of the Lannisters playbook. Disgusting,” one person wrote on X,” while a second added, “From siblings in Winterfell to lovers in a gothic horror… HBO really trained them well for complicated family dynamics.”

A third fan chimed in, “I don’t want to see John [sic] snow and sansa kissing.. this is so weird.”

In August, Turner revealed that she and Harington were “both retching” while shooting intimate scenes.

“I’d just got the script for this amazing gothic horror called ‘The Dreadful,’ and I was reading through all the characters,” she shared on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”

“And I’m producing it, so the director was asking me, ‘Who do you think?’ And immediately, the first person I thought of was Kit.”

Turner then sent Harington the script to which he replied, “Yeah, I’d love to, but this is going to be really f–king weird, Soph.”

“And I was like, what is he talking about? Then I was reading it, and I’m like, ‘Kiss, kiss, sex, kiss, sex scene,’” continued Turner. “And then I’m like, oh shoot, that’s my brother. But it’s such a good script that he’s like, ‘We kind of have to do it.’”

“So, then we put it out of our minds,” she went on. “And then we get on set, and it’s the first kissing scene. And we are both retching, like really, it is vile. It was the worst, another really bad moment in my career.”

The duo’s reunion comes seven years after Turner starred as Sansa Stark and Harington played her brother Jon Snow on “Game of Thrones.” The beloved show ran for eight seasons from 2011 to 2019.

Earlier this week, Harington addressed the 2019 petition signed by two million fans to remake the final season “with competent writers”

“That genuinely angered me,” he told The New York Times. “Like, how dare you? Sorry, that’s just how I feel.”

Harington said he knew how hard the writers, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, worked on the series, especially after the project continued following the book series’ original ending.

“I think it was a level of idiocy that can only come about through social media,” he added.

The final season ended up airing while Harington was in rehab for alcohol and stress. Returning to such discourse shocked the actor.

“I went in and everyone loved ‘Thrones’; I came out and everyone hated it,” Harington told GQ in 2024. “I think if there was any fault with the end of ‘Thrones,’ is that we were all so f–king tired, we couldn’t have gone on longer. And so I understand some people thought it was rushed and I might agree with them. But I’m not sure there was any alternative. I look at pictures of me in that final season and I look exhausted. I look spent. I didn’t have another season in me.”

These days, Harington can assure fans that a “GoT” prequel series isn’t in the cards.

“It’s not happening — and not happening anytime soon anyway,” he told Entertainment Weekly earlier this month.

“We bounced some ideas around and nothing really lit us up. It just didn’t. I think we don’t want to do something that’s not worth it. So for the time being, we’re just shelving it.”
