Game of Thrones remains one of the most significant shows in television history, with a lasting influence that continues to impact various mediums. Even more than four years after its conclusion, the show remains a prominent topic of discussion. However, Bella Ramsey’s family didn’t really find the show pleasant for an interesting reason.
Game of Thrones‘ success was rooted in its compelling story and exceptional world-building, captivating fans for over eight years. The series still concluded in a manner widely regarded as one of the worst endings to a show, particularly the final episode of season 8. The ending significantly impacted the its’ overall legacy and diminished the hype that had surrounded it.

Bella Ramsey’s Family Didn’t Find Game of Thrones Pleasant For One Reason
Bella Ramsey gained widespread recognition for her role in Game of Thrones as Lyanna Mormont and later became a viral star in The Last of Us opposite Pedro Pascal, where she portrayed the role of Ellie – getting more love and praise for good reason.

While speaking to LAD Bible, Bella Ramsey admitted that starting Game of Thrones at 13 led them to be a “very private” public figure. They also admitted that their family were terrified about how their identity would be perceived, which is why Ramsey kept their image private.
“I actually think that my journey through the industry has been done in a way that I’m really pleased about. Like, I think we chose the right route in terms of when ‘Game of Thrones,’ everything started coming out,” Ramsey said. “We chose the route of doing absolutely nothing, do like no interviews, give no personal information. It was so terrifying.”
My parents were so terrified that we just sort of kept everything very private, barely did any interviews, like three phone call interviews. And I’m really proud of that. And I’m really glad that I was up until ‘The Last of Us,’ like I was fairly anonymous, even though I’ve done like, other work. That was pretty lovely. So I think that I’m pretty pleased with how it’s gone.”
Bella Ramsey’s character didn’t survive Game of Thrones but it is likely her character in The Last of Us Season 2 will, as it will be following the events of The Last of Us 2 video game. We’ll have to see how the second season will turn out.
The Last of Us Won’t Be Coming Out For A While

After what happened in the first season of The Last of Us, fans have been eagerly waiting for the second season. In an August interview for Entertainment Weekly’s Awardist podcast, TV series creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann confirmed they had mapped out all of Season Two.
“I think it’s becoming essentially a near certainty that we won’t be able to start [filming] when we were hoping to start, which is upsetting. We are all raring to go. This is what we are born to do. “This is how we not only choose to live our lives, but I believe [how we] are compelled to live our lives. Otherwise, why the hell would we do this insane job? I can assure you it’s not for money.”
Mazin mentioned that the first episode had been written and the script submitted, creating a ton of excitement. However, a strike prevented them from starting filming as planned, leading to Mazin expressing disappointment and a shared passion for their work. By the looks of it, the show won’t be coming back until 2024 or 2025.
