Game of Thrones led to several other roles for Harington. This included a main part in the 2014 historical epic Pompeii, as well as being a main voice actor in DreamWorks’ How to Train Your Dragon series. More recently, Harington had a role in the 2024 Max series Industry, wherein he played Henry Muck. Many of these projects have been well-regarded, but this is not true for a supernatural horror film released earlier this year.
The Beast Within Has Become A Hulu Hit
The Film Hit No. 1 On The Hulu Charts
The Beast Within has become a hit on Hulu. The film stars Harington as a man named Noah, who is father to 10-year-old Willow. When Willow witnesses her dad go through a transformation into a werewolf, she begins to grow suspicious of her family history and the secrets therein. In addition to Harington, the film’s lead cast includes Ashleigh Cummings, Caolinn Spingall, and James Cosmo. The Beast Within has received largely negative reviews, receiving a Tomatometer of 40% on Rotten Tomatoes. Screen Rant‘s Ferdosa gave it 2.5 stars out of five.
As per Collider, The Beast Within has now found success on Hulu. The film has climbed up to the top of the platform’s charts, making it to no. 1 in the Top 10 this week. Some of the titles that The Beast Within beat out include Late Night with the Devil, Smile, and Superbad. The Beast Within was originally released on July 26, so its success came with about a three-month delay.
Our Take On The Beast Within’s Hulu Success
Kit Harington Likely Boosted The Film’s Success
Looking at the films it beat out on the Hulu charts, it seems like Harington must have been the main draw to The Beast Within. After all, one would think that the well-reviewed Smile would come in ahead of the panned werewolf movie, especially with Smile 2 currently in theaters. Harington’s post-Game of Thrones roles have been limited, so those who have missed his Jon Snow days pounced at the opportunity to see the actor in this film. Hopefully, this can leverage success for Harington in his future career endeavors.
