One of the few people to have actually read the final scripts is Iain Glen, who plays Ser Jorah Mormont on the HBO show.
Speaking to The India Express, the actor teased the show’s future, teasing a “rather brilliant” conclusion that should satisfy the majority of fans.
“I am one of the few people who has read the script and I know the ending and what happens,” he told the publication.
“When I read it, I thought it was rather brilliant. I am a bit of a fan of the series as well, and it satiated my expectation and hopes… But we will just have to see. You know with something this big like Game of Thrones, you cannot please everyone.”
Questioned further, Glenn added: “All I can say is that we will be doing what we have done before and the writers have written great episodes. They have had a great strike rate up to now and I am sure that will continue.”
With regards Ser Jorah, the actor spoke about the character’s “romantic streak” and teased some surprises to come: “There may be surprises up there. You will have to see what happens up ahead.”
Recently, an HBO spokesperson confirmed that the final episode will see some fan-favourite characters perish. Game of Thrones season 8 will air on HBO and Sky Atlantic in 2019.
