In 2018, Harington exec produced and performed opposite Peter Mullan, Mark Gatiss, and Liv Tyler in the HBO Max miniseries Gunpowder, in which he played his real-life ancestor, Catholic rebel Robert Catesby, alongside Peter Mullan, Mark Gatiss, and Liv Tyler.

Harington attended the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London and made his stage debut in the blockbuster musical War Horse as Albert Narracott. He's also acted in Laura Wade's Posh at the Royal Court Theatre in London, and he most recently starred in a West End rendition of Sam Shepard's modern classic True West. This spring, he'll reprise his role as Henry V in the Donmar Warehouse's modern adaptation of William Shakespeare's play of the same name, which was conceived as a provocative meditation on patriotism, nationalism, and England's connection with Europe.
