"I had a sit-down with [Game of Thrones showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff], we did the Tony Soprano walk [letting an actor know they're being whacked]. And they said, ‘Look, you're gone, it's done.'... Quite honestly, I have never been told the future of things in this show, but this is the one time I have," he told EW. "They sat me down and said, ‘This is how it is.' If anything in the future is not like that, then I don't know about it—it's only in David and Dan and George's heads. But I've been told I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm not coming back next season. So that's all I can tell you, really."
Lombardo also told the crowd Game of Thrones could be coming to an end…in a few years.
"I think ‘seven seasons and out' has never been the conversation," Lombardo said. "The question is how much beyond the seventh season we're going to do. Obviously we're shooting six now and hopefully discussing seven. They're feeling like they're probably two more years after six. I've said before, I would always love for them to change their minds but that's what we're looking at right now."
He's also open to prequels. And so are we. Thank you.
