Award winning Game of thrones actor Peter Dinklage says it's time TV show ends

This Popular Game of Thrones actor believes the show is ready for its glorious exit. Additional seasons will only cause the multi award winning TV series to lose its substance and it's essence .

Although fans of the powerful fantastical series may be feeling a  little sad with the show’s finale coming in 2019, GOT star Peter Dinklage thinks it's an excellent decision made by the Show's top brass, to end it in its eighth season.

The talented actor, who plays eloquent fan favourite Tyrion Lannister, of House Lannister, seems ready to move on to other projects, after gaining great game from Thrones. Infact, his latest film, Reed Morano’s I Think We’re Alone Now, just had it's premier at the Sundance Film Festival. Dinklage is really looking to life and career after Game of thrones.

“This is the final season, so it’s pretty long, it’s a long one,” he told Variety. “We’re really taking our time with this one. It’s bittersweet.”

“It’s time to move on with everything, so it’s the sad part of our business, we get pockets of great people for short amounts of time and then you have to move on and it’s always heartbreaking, especially when you’ve spent more than a couple months with people.”

He believes that if the show were to go beyond this point, it will ultimately fall into the same mistake many great shows in the past did. Sort of overstaying it's welcome in the eyes of the audience and making its storyline hollow. He agrees it's time to lower the curtains on the remarkable television show. 

“But yeah, it’s time. Storywise, not just for all of our lives. I think if they went any further … it’s the perfect timing to end it. Sometimes shows stay on a little too long. The jumping the shark thing.”

Dinklage revealed that although they were taking their time filming this one, they were more than halfway through filming the season already.

Peter Dinklage has won two Emmy awards for Game of thrones 

Of course with his exceptional performances every season, Dinklage a long standing cast member of the show, has been nominated four for an Emmy for best supporting actor, for his role as Tyrion Lannister. And he has won twice in 2011 and 2015.

Game of Thrones season eight will premiere in 2019 after a delay changed the release date from 2018.
