Actors call for remake of ‘Thrones’

British actor Charles Dance, known for his role as the villainous Tywin Lannister in HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” admitted being disappointed with the show’s final season and said he would sign an online petition calling for a remake.

The eighth and last season of the wildly popular series was quite polarizing, to say the least, and prompted more than 1.8 million annoyed fans to sign a petition urging HBO to hire “competent writers” and remake the final episodes. Dance told PopCulture.com he had not heard about the online campaign, but he said he “would sign it.”

“I mean, I saw it. I continue to watch the whole series even after I’d been killed off in the lavatory,” the 73-yearold star (inset) told the website.

“Because I just thought it’s a fantastic television show, you know? I was very lucky to be part of it. I loved it. There were story lines [where] I wanted to know what was going to happen to these people,” he added, before revealing his opinion about the ending.

“I know that the finale satisfied a lot of people. It also disappointed a lot of people, and I’m afraid I am in the latter camp.”

Dance, who narrates the National Geographic series “Savage Kingdom,” is not the only cast member who wasn’t a fan of the 2019 season of “Game of Thrones.”

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, the Danish actor who played Jaime Lannister on the show, told Variety that he “wanted to donate to that petition.”

Emilia Clarke — whose character, Daenerys, turned into a power-hungry, murderous maniac in the last few episodes — said she “really felt” for the character and was also bothered that Daenerys’ lover, Jon Snow, killed her. “And yeah, was I annoyed that Jon Snow didn’t have to deal with something?” she said. “He got away with murder — literally.”
