We might have to wait until 2019 to watch the final season of Game of Thrones but according to a recent interview with Peter Dinklage (who plays quick-witted Tyrion Lannister) at Variety’s Sundance Film Festival, season eight is nearly halfway through filming:
“It’s the final season and we’re really taking our time with this one,” Dinklage said. “[But] it’s time. It’s the perfect time to end it. Sometimes shows stay on a little too long, the jumping the shark thing.”
When asked if he was sad to be leaving the role of a character as beloved as Tyrion, Dinklage’s choice of words were eerily similar to what A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin has said of the series’ ending: “It’s bittersweet.”

Will Daenerys enact revenge for Viserion and/or have a child with her nephew? Sound off in the comments.
