Cast members of "Game of Thrones" appeared at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday to discuss the HBO fantasy epic's controversial final season.

As well as defending the series conclusion, the actors were asked what they think happened next to their characters.

Here is what they told a packed theatre at the pop culture fan convention:

Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark)

"I can't imagine his government is a barrel of laughs. It's probably quite serious."

"To all intents and purposes Westeros is now a surveillance state, with Bran aware of everything everyone is doing."

Maisie Williams (Arya Stark)

"I'm sure she's having a wonderful time like Dora the Explorer, minus the bob. But maybe she cut a bob in, you know? West of Westeros might like the bob."

"I don't think being with a partner is what would make her feel the most at home or the most fulfilled."

"They (Arya and Gendry) probably see each other at like a friend's wedding and are like 'Oh hey, good to see you -- how are you doing?'"

Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos Seaworth)

&nbsp;"I thought it was a nice end to the small council in King's Landing. I'm generally optimistic."

"I think the spin-off should be 'Better Call Davos.' It's a thousand dollar idea."

John Bradley (Samwell Tarly)

"Relationships (in the small council) must have soured by now."

"There's some drama involved in a group of people who don't like each other but they're forced to exist. It basically turns into 'The Office'."

"It's not going to be an easy life for anybody."

Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm)

"I think he's starting a new society like Wakanda."

"He's keeping his promise to Missandei. He's sitting on the beach drinking pina coladas and protecting everyone."

What happened next to Game of Thrones characters? The cast explain

Actor Isaac Hempstead Wright, who played the role of Bran Stark in the insanely popular HBO show `Game of Thrones`, is clearing up another mystery related to the series` ending.

The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/entertainment-emilia-clarke-promises-game-of-thrones-finale-to-unpredictable-137466">final episode of the show</a> featured many surprising moments but one of the biggest was- who gets to sit on the iron throne and rules over Westeros?

After a number of twists, Wright`s character was crowned as the king of the six kingdoms (excluding Winterfell) and dubbed Bran the Broken.&nbsp;

Fans and critics alike weren`t very happy with Bran`s ascent into power but according to Wright, the choice was made by none other than author George R.R. Martin, the creator of the books on which the show is based.

"Show creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss told me there were two things George R.R. Martin had planned for Bran, and that was the Hodor revelation, and that he would be king," Wright said in an interview in HBO`s `Making of Game of Thrones`, as cited by Fox News.

"So that`s pretty special to be directly involved in something that is part of George`s vision. It was a really nice way to wrap it up," the actor added.

Martin still has two more books - `The Winds of Winter` and `A Dream of Spring`, he is currently in the process of writing.&nbsp;

He has also implied that the TV show and the books will probably end differently.

According to Martin, "How will it all end? I hear people asking. The same ending as the show? Different? Well... yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes."

"I expect these last two books of mine will fill 3000 manuscript pages between them before I`m done... and if more pages and chapters and scenes are needed, I`ll add them," he continued.

Commenting on the criticism of the last few episodes, Martin said, "How about this? I`ll write it. You read it. Then everyone can make up their own mind, and argue about it on the internet."

Previously, Wright told Entertainment Weekly about reading the finale script: "When I got to the [Dragonpit scene] in the last episode and they`re like, `What about Bran?` I had to get up and pace around the room. I genuinely thought it was a joke script and that David and Dan sent to everyone a script with their own character ends up on the Iron Throne. `Yeah, good one guys. Oh so-, it`s actually real?`"

Wright also added: "I think he`ll be a really good king actually. Perhaps there will be something missing in having real emotive leader, which is a useful quality in a king or queen as well. At the same time, you can`t really argue with Bran. He`s like, `No, I know everything.`"

After a remarkable 8-year-long journey, the makers of `GoT` failed to impress fans with the final season. A couple of days back, disappointed `GoT` fans started a petition on change.org, asking the makers to remake the eighth season of the series "with competent writers".&nbsp;

Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark in the show, slammed it as <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-kit-harrington-sophie-turner-defend-writers-amid-criticism-220455">"disrespectful" to all those who work</a> on the show.&nbsp;

Isaac Hempstead Wright reveals who was behind 'Game of Thrones' finale twist

Actor Isaac Hempstead Wright who played Bran Stark in the hugely popular series 'Game Of Thrones' had initially thought the season 8 script was a &nbsp;prank the writers had played on him.&nbsp;

Wright's character Bran ultimately got the Iron throne, much to everyone's surprise and disappointment. Bran, a three-eyed raven, may have seen the future and predicted his claim to the throne, but the actor stated that he was given a 'joke script'.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-finale-episode-review-time-to-bid-goodbye-to-last-dragon-iron-throne-and-our-favourite-show-220063">Read the review of the final episode here.&nbsp;</a>

While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Wright said, "When I got to the [Dragonpit scene] in the last episode, and they’re like, ‘What about Bran?’ I had to get up and pace around the room,” he said. “I genuinely thought it was a joke script and that [showrunners] David and Dan sent to everyone a script where their own character ends up on the Iron Throne. I was like, ‘Yeah, good one guys. Oh shit! It’s actually real?!’”

Wright assumption wouldn't be all wrong considering the show's creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss had earlier sent the cast hoax scripts. In Season 1 Kit Harrington had received a script which stated that his character Jon Snow's face would get disfigured.&nbsp;

In fact, Maisie Williams, who played Arya Stark, had initially thought her love scene was a prank that the creators were playing on her.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Wright said that even though he had hoped for a dramatic death for his character, he was ultimately satisfied with how the series ended.<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-will-not-have-sequel-series-or-spinoff-confirms-hbo-president-220624">&nbsp;'Game of Thrones' will not have sequel series or spinoff, confirms HBO president</a>

Commenting on the backlash that the series has been receiving, Wright said, "It’s difficult to finish a series as popular as this without pissing some people off. I don’t think anybody will think it’s predictable and that’s as much as you can hope for. It’s ‘bittersweet,’ exactly as (author) George RR Martin intended. It’s a fitting conclusion to this epic saga.”
