Fans of the hit HBO series "Game of Thrones" are still trying to digest the news that Season 8 of the series will be its last.

HBO announcing this past weekend that "Game of Thrones" will be done in 2018.

Veteran actor Jonathan Pryce, who plays 'High Sparrow' on the series, admits the show has certianly increased his brand.

"The recognition factor has risen considerably. Some good, some bad in that everyone wants to have their photograph taken with you and you have to make sure that when you leave home, you're dressed respectably and you're sober and you're not looking like some… I do look like an old tramp. I'm growing my beard now because we're remounting 'The Merchant of Venice,' which we take to America in a few weeks' time, so I do look like an old tramp, there you go. Take my photograph, I don't care."

The 7th season of "Game of Thrones," which will be made up of seven episodes instead of the usual 10, is due out next summer.

The 8th and final season will air in 2018.

Though "Game of Thrones" will come to an end, the producers have not ruled out the possibility of a spin-off.
