]]> Kristian Nairn, better known as Hodor on Game of Thrones, has announced he’ll be heading to North American for a nine-date tour. 

In case you didn’t know, the Belfast native was a DJ long before before he became well-known for his portrayal of Hodor. While filming GoT, he enjoyed the best of both worlds, but now he’s back to DJing full time, performing in festivals and clubs worldwide. 

The tour kicks off March 20th at Temple in Denver, Colorado, and wraps April 18th at RYSE in St. Charles, Missouri. 

“I realize some folks are drawn in by the idea of seeing Hodor DJing,” said Nairn. “They quickly realize I’m passionate about dance music and this is an authentic music experience.”

Check out his announcement below.

]]> When his character died on screen, audience reactions varied from happy smiles to loud cheers. Nevertheless, many people will probably still be glad to see Jack Gleeson’s face back on their screens.

The 27-years-old actor, who portrayed King Joffrey on HBO’s mega hit series Game of Thrones, is making a comeback to TV in an upcoming BBC2 comedy.

Gleeson will appear in Sara Pascoe’s upcoming comedy, Out of Her Mind, which will consist of six half-hour episodes and is yet to have an air date. Alongside Gleeson, the series will star, among others, Pascoe herself, rapper Scroobius Pip, and Peep Show‘s Cariad Lloyd. 

Pascoe defined Out of Her Mind as a direct expression of her mind: “We’ve turned my brain into a theme-park, and everyone’s invited! The cast are INCREDIBLE and I can’t wait for people to see what we’ve made.”

Gleeson, who is currently studying philosophy and theology at Trinity College in Dublin, said after leaving Game of Thrones that he is considering leaving the acting world: “Once the prospect of becoming an actor professionally, and essentially my dreams, became a reality, well it nearly professionalises it too much.”

Obviously, he has changed his mind since then.

]]> Wee have seen the last of Sansa Stark. 

Because Game of Thrones was such a success, it was no surprise that HBO decided to produce spin-offs of the hit series. While the network cancelled one of the potential shows in October last year, another, which is set to focus on House Targaryen, is still in the works. 

House of the Dragon will be set many years before the Westeros to which we were introduced, meaning that most of the characters we’ve come to love will not be around. And that includes the Queen of the North. 

Sophie Turner, who played the second of the Stark children throughout the series’ 8 seasons, has said that she has no plans to appear in the prequel. 

“I would give anything to go back to what we had, but it wouldn’t be the same. It would be different; different people running it. I don’t want to be a part of it. Unless they give me the big bucks I’m not doing it!” she joked. 

The GOT prequel is expected around 2022.

]]> It was too good to be true…

So much excitement surrounded the Game of Thrones prequel that was being developed by HBO. 

Set thousands of years before the events depicted in the Emmy Award-winning series which wrapped in May, the prospective show was being written by the creator of A Song of Ice and Fire himself, George R.R. Martin, and Jane Goldman who penned Kingsman.

According to the official description, the series planned to “chronicle the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. From the horrifying secrets of Westeros’s history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend, only one thing is for sure: it’s not the story we think we know.”

Naomi Watts has signed on to the project, along with Miranda Richardson, Jamie Campbell Bower, Georgie Henley, Naomi Ackie, and Denise Gough. 

A pilot episode was shot in Belfast in June, but HBO has now decided to, alas, not pick up the series… 

Yet, hope remains for Westeros fans. 

The network is reportedly close to ordering a pilot for a second spin-off series that focuses on the Targaryen civil war.

]]> Game of Thrones director Neil Marshall has voiced his agreement with criticisms that the final season of the show was ended in “a little bit of a rush.”

Despite receiving an outstanding number of Emmy nominations, season 8 of the HBO series was met with backlash. Fans claimed that the ending was disappointing in comparison to the rest of the show and some people even signed a petition to get the final season of the show remade.

After months of staying silent on the topic, Marshall has now confessed that he agrees with criticisms of season 8. Nonetheless, he praises showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss for doing an “amazing job”.

“Inevitably, I would’ve taken a different approach to directing,” he told The Metro. “One of the greatest experiences I had with working on both those episodes was that they were so open to bringing my ideas, particularly about battle scenes and how battles worked. I would’ve definitely added my strategy and knowledge to that.”

He added: ”I kind of agree with a lot of the criticism that it was really rushed. Everyone ended up where they were meant to end up but they got there in a little bit of a rush in the end.”

Game of Thrones Season 8 is available to watch on Now TV and Amazon.

]]> The Primetime Emmy Awards could themselves have been nominated in the category of Outstanding Comedy this year.

Despite having no singular host, the ceremony was pulled off seamlessly by presenters who pulled out all the stops when it came to humor.

Cue Ben Stiller speaking about legend Bob Newhart as if he was dead, only for The Rescuers actor to point out that he is, very much, alive; Julia Louis-Dreyfus appearing on stage as her Veep character; and Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel explaining why award shows still need hosts.

And we haven’t even mentioned Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s speeches!

The Fleabag actress was the surprise winner of the evening, gracing the stage three times as she won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Comedy Series.

Other big winners on the night were Chernobyl, the HBO miniseries about the 1986 disaster; and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel which took home awards for Tony Shalhoub and Alex Borstein. In an unexpected twist, Game of Thrones, which was the most-nominated show going in, only picked up two awards for Outstanding Drama Series and Supporting Actor for Peter Dinklage.

]]> We weren’t the only ones disappointed by the developments of Game of Thrones season 8.

The final season in the saga was considered by both critics and fans to be a let-down regarding plot and character development, which seemed to have fallen away.

But rest assured, there is still hope that our beloved characters will get the ending they deserve — thanks to their original creator, George R. R. Martin.

When asked whether the ending of the HBO of series would have any effect on the ending of A Song of Ice of Ice and Fire, Martin told The Observer, “No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t change anything at all. You can’t please everybody, so you’ve got to please yourself. Some of [the theories] are right and some of [the theories] are wrong. They’ll find out when I finish.”

Sadly we have no time frame for that…

]]> HBO has confirmed what many Game of Thrones fans already knew.

During the broadcast of the eighth and final season, dozens of die-hard Westeros devotees were disappointed with the way the series was proceeding, claiming that the writers had forgone all character development and rushed the plot to conclude in the 6 episode time frame.

The disappointment led to more than 1.6 million people signing a petition, calling on HBO to remake the final season which had cost millions of dollars to produce.

“There are very few downsides to having a hugely popular show. One I can think of, when you try to end it, many people have opinions on how to end it. I think that comes with the territory,” said the network’s president of programming, Casey Bloys, while at the Television Critics Association event.

“The petition shows a lot of enthusiasm and passion for the show, but it wasn’t something we seriously considered. I can’t imagine another network would.”

Aside from the anger felt by fans, critics found the final season praiseworthy, as it earned 32 nominations at the upcoming Emmy Awards.

]]> Are you as curious about the forthcoming Game of Thrones prequel as we are?

George R. R. Martin is here for us!

The author of A Song of Ice and Fire, who is also writing and executive producing the prequel, spoke to Entertainment Weekly, where be revealed how many kingdoms we can expect, which families will appear, and title possibilities.

While no official name has been locked down as yet (though Blood Moon seems to be the working title), Martin has put his hand up for The Long Night.

“I heard a suggestion that it could be called The Longest Night, which is a variant I wouldn’t mind,” he said.

What we do know about the prequel is that it is set around 5,000 years prior to the events in Game of Thrones, when the altercation with the White Walkers went down.

But that’s not to say that we won’t get to see our favorite families.

“The Starks will definitely be there,” Martin said. “The Lannisters aren’t there yet, but Casterly Rock is certainly there; it’s like the Rock of Gibraltar. It’s actually occupied by the Casterlys — for whom it’s still named after in the time of Game of Thrones.”

According to Martin, there will be far more kingdoms than the 7 in GOT.

“If you go back further, then there are nine kingdoms, and 12 kingdoms, and eventually you get back to where there are a hundred kingdoms — petty kingdoms — and that’s the era we’re talking about here.”

The prequel is currently filming in Northern Ireland, while Martin is (still) writing the 6th Ice and Fire novel. Hooray!

The 27-years-old actor, who portrayed King Joffrey on HBO’s mega hit series Game of Thrones, is making a comeback to TV in an upcoming BBC2 comedy.

Gleeson will appear in Sara Pascoe’s upcoming comedy, Out of Her Mind, which will consist of six half-hour episodes and is yet to have an air date. Alongside Gleeson, the series will star, among others, Pascoe herself, rapper Scroobius Pip, and Peep Show‘s Cariad Lloyd.

Because Game of Thrones was such a success, it was no surprise that HBO decided to produce spin-offs of the hit series. While the network cancelled one of the potential shows in October last year, another, which is set to focus on House Targaryen, is still in the works. 

House of the Dragon will be set many years before the Westeros to which we were introduced, meaning that most of the characters we’ve come to love will not be around. And that includes the Queen of the North. 

Sophie Turner, who played the second of the Stark children throughout the series’ 8 seasons, has said that she has no plans to appear in the prequel. 

“I would give anything to go back to what we had, but it wouldn’t be the same. It would be different; different people running it. I don’t want to be a part of it. Unless they give me the big bucks I’m not doing it!” she joked. 

The GOT prequel is expected around 2022.

]]> It was too good to be true…

So much excitement surrounded the Game of Thrones prequel that was being developed by HBO. 

Set thousands of years before the events depicted in the Emmy Award-winning series which wrapped in May, the prospective show was being written by the creator of A Song of Ice and Fire himself, George R.R. Martin, and Jane Goldman who penned Kingsman.

According to the official description, the series planned to “chronicle the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. From the horrifying secrets of Westeros’s history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend, only one thing is for sure: it’s not the story we think we know.”

Naomi Watts has signed on to the project, along with Miranda Richardson, Jamie Campbell Bower, Georgie Henley, Naomi Ackie, and Denise Gough. 

A pilot episode was shot in Belfast in June, but HBO has now decided to, alas, not pick up the series… 

Yet, hope remains for Westeros fans. 

The network is reportedly close to ordering a pilot for a second spin-off series that focuses on the Targaryen civil war.

]]> Game of Thrones director Neil Marshall has voiced his agreement with criticisms that the final season of the show was ended in “a little bit of a rush.”

Despite receiving an outstanding number of Emmy nominations, season 8 of the HBO series was met with backlash. Fans claimed that the ending was disappointing in comparison to the rest of the show and some people even signed a petition to get the final season of the show remade.

After months of staying silent on the topic, Marshall has now confessed that he agrees with criticisms of season 8. Nonetheless, he praises showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss for doing an “amazing job”.

“Inevitably, I would’ve taken a different approach to directing,” he told The Metro. “One of the greatest experiences I had with working on both those episodes was that they were so open to bringing my ideas, particularly about battle scenes and how battles worked. I would’ve definitely added my strategy and knowledge to that.”

He added: ”I kind of agree with a lot of the criticism that it was really rushed. Everyone ended up where they were meant to end up but they got there in a little bit of a rush in the end.”

Game of Thrones Season 8 is available to watch on Now TV and Amazon.

]]> The Primetime Emmy Awards could themselves have been nominated in the category of Outstanding Comedy this year.

Despite having no singular host, the ceremony was pulled off seamlessly by presenters who pulled out all the stops when it came to humor.

Cue Ben Stiller speaking about legend Bob Newhart as if he was dead, only for The Rescuers actor to point out that he is, very much, alive; Julia Louis-Dreyfus appearing on stage as her Veep character; and Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel explaining why award shows still need hosts.

And we haven’t even mentioned Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s speeches!

The Fleabag actress was the surprise winner of the evening, gracing the stage three times as she won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Comedy Series.

Other big winners on the night were Chernobyl, the HBO miniseries about the 1986 disaster; and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel which took home awards for Tony Shalhoub and Alex Borstein. In an unexpected twist, Game of Thrones, which was the most-nominated show going in, only picked up two awards for Outstanding Drama Series and Supporting Actor for Peter Dinklage.

]]> We weren’t the only ones disappointed by the developments of Game of Thrones season 8.

The final season in the saga was considered by both critics and fans to be a let-down regarding plot and character development, which seemed to have fallen away.

But rest assured, there is still hope that our beloved characters will get the ending they deserve — thanks to their original creator, George R. R. Martin.

When asked whether the ending of the HBO of series would have any effect on the ending of A Song of Ice of Ice and Fire, Martin told The Observer, “No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t change anything at all. You can’t please everybody, so you’ve got to please yourself. Some of [the theories] are right and some of [the theories] are wrong. They’ll find out when I finish.”

Sadly we have no time frame for that…

]]> HBO has confirmed what many Game of Thrones fans already knew.

During the broadcast of the eighth and final season, dozens of die-hard Westeros devotees were disappointed with the way the series was proceeding, claiming that the writers had forgone all character development and rushed the plot to conclude in the 6 episode time frame.

The disappointment led to more than 1.6 million people signing a petition, calling on HBO to remake the final season which had cost millions of dollars to produce.

“There are very few downsides to having a hugely popular show. One I can think of, when you try to end it, many people have opinions on how to end it. I think that comes with the territory,” said the network’s president of programming, Casey Bloys, while at the Television Critics Association event.

“The petition shows a lot of enthusiasm and passion for the show, but it wasn’t something we seriously considered. I can’t imagine another network would.”

Aside from the anger felt by fans, critics found the final season praiseworthy, as it earned 32 nominations at the upcoming Emmy Awards.

]]> Are you as curious about the forthcoming Game of Thrones prequel as we are?

George R. R. Martin is here for us!

The author of A Song of Ice and Fire, who is also writing and executive producing the prequel, spoke to Entertainment Weekly, where be revealed how many kingdoms we can expect, which families will appear, and title possibilities.

While no official name has been locked down as yet (though Blood Moon seems to be the working title), Martin has put his hand up for The Long Night.

“I heard a suggestion that it could be called The Longest Night, which is a variant I wouldn’t mind,” he said.

What we do know about the prequel is that it is set around 5,000 years prior to the events in Game of Thrones, when the altercation with the White Walkers went down.

But that’s not to say that we won’t get to see our favorite families.

“The Starks will definitely be there,” Martin said. “The Lannisters aren’t there yet, but Casterly Rock is certainly there; it’s like the Rock of Gibraltar. It’s actually occupied by the Casterlys — for whom it’s still named after in the time of Game of Thrones.”

According to Martin, there will be far more kingdoms than the 7 in GOT.

“If you go back further, then there are nine kingdoms, and 12 kingdoms, and eventually you get back to where there are a hundred kingdoms — petty kingdoms — and that’s the era we’re talking about here.”

The prequel is currently filming in Northern Ireland, while Martin is (still) writing the 6th Ice and Fire novel. Hooray!
