Game of Thrones’ Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm) expected people to not like Season 8 Finale

Game of Thrones Season 8 wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea. The season finale divided the fan base into two. One was satisfied with the ending, the other demanded a season remake. Some blamed the absence of George R. R. Martin’s next installment of books. While some blamed the showrunners’ piqued interest to launch a Star Wars feature film trilogy with Disney’s Lucasfilm. Even the show’s alum Emilia Clarke gets why fans were f**king p***ed about the final episode. Her co-star, Jacob Anderson, who played Grey Worm on the show, had an inkling that the reaction to the finale might not be very positive.

In a recent interview with PopSugar, Anderson said, “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.”

“We were filming for 11 months in the snow and there were thousands and thousands of people worked so hard on [the final season]. And then for it to just, when it came out for people to just straight up be like, ‘You need to remake this. This is terrible. This is the worst thing ever.’ It was a little bit sad.”

He added, “But to be honest, I expected people to not like it, even though I liked it. I thought people were going to be annoyed by things.”
