Gemma Whelan, who played Yara Greyjoy in Game of Thrones, has revealed that she hasn’t yet watched the final season of the epic HBO show.
Whilst her character appeared in the season’s final episode and survived the series, in a new interview with Sunday Brunch, Whelan admitted that she hadn’t yet watched all of the final episode, nor the final season of the show.
Speaking to Sunday Brunch host Tim Lovejoy, Whelan said: “I haven’t watched the end yet, no,” but admitted that she did know how the finale ended.
Whelan said: “I do know what happens. I came home and my husband was watching it and I saw the final bit but I haven’t seen most of the series yet, because we didn’t have internet in our house.”

Whelan also went on to describe her role in the series as “life-changing”, saying she was in the “right place at the right time” when she was cast as Yara Greyjoy.
“It was such a fun thing to do,” Whelan added. “It’s hard to quantify – having that on your CV definitely changes things, but in terms of actually that being a tangible thing in your life, it’s hard to know. But of course, it really does help.”
Martin is also currently working on one of several Game of Thrones prequels, the first of which is expected for release next year.
