Sophie Turner reacts to the petition calling for the remake Game of Thrones final season
Game of Thrones final season came to its end on 19th of May, one of the longest running TV series.
But some fans are not happy with the final season, as an online petition is being signed requesting the remake of the final season. The petition has got over one million signatures.
Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner who played Sansa Stark in the epic fantasy series, says the petition to remake the final season is “disrespectful” to the whole team. She was referring to Change.org’s petition calling for a remake of the last season of HBO’s adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s fantasy books. The petition has got over one million signatures.

“Honestly, I’m not surprised. People always have an idea in their heads of how they want a show to finish, and so when it doesn’t go to their liking, they start to speak up about it and rebel,” nytimes.com quotes Sophie Turner.
She further added, “The thing about Game of Thrones that’s always been amazing is the fact that there’s always been crazy twists and turns, right from Season 1 with Ned’s beheading. So Daenerys becoming something of the Mad Queen — it shouldn’t be such a negative thing for fans. It’s a shock for sure, but I think it’s just because it hasn’t gone their way.
All of these petitions and things like that — I think it’s disrespectful to the crew, and the writers, and the filmmakers who have worked tirelessly over 10 years, and for 11 months shooting the last season. Like 50-something night shoots. So many people worked so, so hard on it, and for people to just rubbish it because it’s not what they want to see is just disrespectful.”
Talking about her role in the series which is wrapped up now, Turner said, “I loved it. It’s the only place that she really, truly feels safe. It’s the place that she’s the most capable of ruling. She would be a fair and loving ruler, and it’s what she’s been striving for this whole series: to go back home, to protect her home. And finally, she has that.”
