Game Of Thrones actor Charles Dance has revealed he ‘would sign’ a petition to remake the controversial final series.
The HBO fantasy came to an end in 2019 and was incredibly divisive, prompting some devastated fans to launch a campaign calling for creators to re-write the season in its entirety.
And now Tywin Lannister star Charles has said he too was ‘disappointed’ by the show’s closing chapters.
‘Well if there was a petition, I would sign it,’ he said. ‘I mean, I saw it. I continue to watch the whole series even after I’d been killed off in the lavatory.
‘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 storylines [where] I wanted to know what was going to happen to these people.’
Charles continued: ‘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.’
The 73-year-old did praise the Game Of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, however.
He added to PopCulture.com: ‘I think David and Dan raised the bar when it came to television screenplay writing.
‘They are phenomenal. And for the whole thing to end up as a committee, I just thought, “Hmm, no.” I would say I was somewhat underwhelmed by.’
Charles’ comments come after his former co-star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau – who played his on-screen son Jaime Lannister – said he ‘almost wanted’ to donate to a petition about remaking the show’s ending.
‘I was aware of the petition for a new ending, which I thought was hilarious. I almost wanted to donate to that petition,’ he disclosed.
Game Of Thrones is available to stream on HBO, Sky and NOW TV.
