The Game of Thrones season 8 home video boxset is out on store shelves now, as is Game of Thrones: The Complete Series. Lots of places are releasing behind-the-scenes sneak peaks, including PEOPLE, who just put up an emotional snippet from a featurette entitled, âDuty is the Death of Love.â
This looks like the end of the featurette, with various cast members ruminating on what theyâll miss most about working on the show. You may want to have a tissue or two ready.
Some tear-wringing excerpts for you:
- Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime): âIâm going to miss my colleagues. Itâs the people, itâs always the people.â
- Sophie Turner (Sansa): âIâm going to miss [creators] David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] being on set every day, who have become like older brothers to me. Iâm gonna miss people like Sean Savage on camera or Sam Donaghy-Bell whoâs a focus pullerâŠItâs a family.â
- Maisie Williams (Arya): âIâve learned everything from this show and Iâve learned everything from the people Iâve met on this show. Iâve had the best time and the best adolescence that anyone could ever ask for. Iâve been allowed to grow as a person and as an actor, and for that I am truly truly grateful.â
- Kit Harington (Jon Snow): âIâll miss the camaraderie of everyone on set. I havenât experienced it before. I donât think I ever will againâ
- Director David Nutter: âIâll miss everythingâŠI fell in love with this place, I fell in love with these people.â
- Peter Dinklage (Tyrion): âThis was so nice to come to every year. I look forward to coming back here to Belfast and seeing my family again, my Game of Thrones family. And I mean that sincerelyâŠItâs our life, more than our job.â
- Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen): âWhat I realized the other day is that the showâs given me more than just a job. Itâs literally given me a family. Itâs given me an identity that I didnât have and I didnât think Iâd ever be able to play someone like this. Sheâs been such a savior for me in so many ways.â She thanks David and Dan, the crew, and of course the fans. âThe fans have given me a platform, theyâve given me hope. Thank you to all the people I donât know.â
Oof, Clarke and Nutter especially got to me.
There are also plenty of deleted scenes going around. And those arenât quite so sad:
