HBO’s Game of Thrones wrapped up its eighth and final season in 2019, bringing about an end to the very popular fantasy show. The franchise is living on with a spin-off TV show <\/a>and of course another book from author George R.R. Martin<\/a>. But the main show is finished.<\/p>\n Actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has now reflected on the legacy of the TV show as part of the wider TV landscape. He told Collider<\/a> that it’s probably too soon to have the discussion about how Game of Thrones has impacted TV, but he said he’s happy to have been part a part of it. He enjoyed playing Jaime Lannister over the years, but he’s glad Game of Thrones ended when it did.<\/p>\n “I had such a great time on that show. It was quite amazing that you go back to something for so long, and I was never bored or like, ‘Oh, now I’ve gotta go back to this?’ Because of the nature of the story, the story changed,” he said. “My character was such a great character, and he was always on a new journey, so I’m gonna miss that. I miss it.”<\/p>\n “I miss my friends and I miss the crew. But at the same time, it’s also a relief that it’s over because it was time to move on. You don’t wanna overstay your welcome.”<\/p>\n While fans might have been divided on the final season, it was a gigantic success for HBO. The final season averaged a breathtaking 44.2 million viewers per episode<\/a>.<\/p>\n Coster-Waldau’s latest project is the crime movie The Silencing, which is available to stream now.<\/p>\n
