Grey Worm actor Jacob Anderson opens up about all of the hate aimed at GameOfThrones' series finale. 'I think everybody assumes that we all hated it. That's not the case at all.'
Grey Worm actor Jacob Anderson reflects on the Game of Thrones finale hate from fans. Based on the high fantasy series by George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones first premiered on HBO in April 2011 and ran for a total of eight seasons, with the series finale debuting in May 2019. Considered by many to be one of the greatest television series of all time, the show received a total of 59 Primetime Emmy Awards during its run.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In an interview with PopSugar, Anderson reflected on his experience filming Game of Thrones' final season, and why the fan response was so disappointing. The Grey Worm actor says that fans tend to assume the cast hated the series finale as much as they did, but Anderson says this wasn't the case, and admits that the negative fan response to the episode was "a little bit sad," as the cast and crew of Game of Thrones worked so incredibly hard on it.
I didn't have strong feelings about the finale. I think everybody assumes that we all hated it. That's not the case at all. I remember when I first got the scripts for that final season, I was like, 'There's something kind of punk about this season. It feels risky. And I feel like it was kind of fun. I enjoyed it and it was fun to make. It was full on, but it was fun to make.
In the wake of the controversial finale, however, House of the Dragon rose to try and repair fans' relationship with the Game of Thrones franchise. With the prequel series beginning anew, and allowing audiences to fall back in love with George R.R. Martin's worldbuilding, many are praising House of the Dragon for reigniting their love of Game of Thrones after the finale left them so badly burned.
Despite fan reactions to the series finale, however, thousands and thousands of people worked on the show's final season, and Anderson is right to give those cast and crew members their dues. Filming Game of Thrones involved many people filming in less-than-ideal weather conditions for several straight hours a day, and while the ending might not have been what fans were expecting, it's important to put into perspective the amount of work that went into filming the finale.
