For the uninitiated, Season 8 of GoT left fans infuriated with the ending.

The show's co-creator David Benioff, talked about the show and how the GOT family has grown together over the past 10 years. Benioff was ecstatic they were together for now and shared it would be hard not working with the team again.

Game of Thrones first premiered in 2011, and ended after 8 seasons in May, 2019. It was nominated for 32 Emmys and won 12, breaking all records.
