It was a red carpet premiere as epic as the show that inspired it. Cast members from every season attended the screening of the first episode of Game of Thrones’ final season at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. “It’s like a high school reunion,” laughed Thrones alum Pedro Pascal (Oberyn Martell).
The cast was emotional as they approached the beginning of the end after nearly a decade of Game of Thrones. Dragon Queen Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) called the night, “really exciting and wonderful, but also incredibly sad.” The actors had similar feelings while reading the final scripts. Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) shared that she finished reading on a plane, crying next to a complete stranger. “If only he knew!” she exclaimed. “Usually when you finish a script it says ‘End of Script 3’ or whatever,” explained Hannah Murray (Gilly), “but this time it said, ‘End of Game of Thrones.’ It was a real punch to the gut.”

Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) had a similar reaction after finishing the finale script: “I went numb and walked around for hours and hours,” Turner recalled. “I’ve cried over it, but I don’t think I’ve fully processed it.” Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) offered that he was, “completely devastated” upon completing reading. “It took me a while to recover, and then once I did, I realized there was no other way to tell this story. It’s completely stunning... I think fans are going to take away many different things, and how you see it depends on who you’ve been siding with.”
