Peter Dinklage attended the premiere of his new HBO movie My Dinner with Hervè last week, which gave entertainment reporters a prime opportunity to ask the actor about the final season of Game of Thrones.

Dinklage, who stars as Tyrion Lannister in the hit series, took the questions in his stride, promising the Belfast Telegraph: “I think it’s going to be the best season of television anyone has ever seen."

“It takes you to a place that you never saw coming – that I didn’t see coming," he added. "Just be prepared. It’s a fun ride!”

Unpredictability is something many fans will be hoping for from season 8, given the seventh went down largely as many expected, with the Night King breaching the Wall.

Dinklage also spoke about the finale with Entertainment Tonight, claiming that co-creators Dan Weiss and David Benioff are "the best writers in television” and promising: “They end it brilliantly. Better than I could have imagined, and you people are in for it.”

As for how the show will end for his character, Tyrion Lannister, Dinklage teased: “It ends beautifully for my character, before quickly adding: “whether it be tragic or not.”

Game of Thrones season 8 is expected to arrive on HBO and through Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the first half of 2019
