In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Richard Madden, who played Robb Stark in Game of Thrones, predicted that everyone will die in the eighth and final season of the HBO series. Here are highlights:

On going from an ensemble show to leading roles: “I was ready for it. I was a kid when I started Game of Thrones and I learned a lot through it and grew up doing it and left at the right point when I was outgrowing that age of that character, just in terms of the way I was growing. I was growing in age but the character wasn’t much. So now to step into these other roles where I’m not a prince or a king and where I’m a father before I’m a son has been a big change for me and something that I’m excited about and ready for.”

On if he followed Game of Thrones after his exit: “Absolutely. I can’t wait for the new season. I kind of don’t recognize that I was in it anymore because I’ve been watching so many years of it, and they talk about Robb Stark and I know who he is but I don’t see myself in that role. I’m just a viewer now, which is so good. That was one of the bad things about being in the show is you got the scripts so you knew what was going to happen next, and I’ve not had that for years, so now I can just truly enjoy it as a viewer, which is thrilling.”

On his prediction for the show: “I kind of think it’s just going to be three dragons flying around and everyone else is dead. It’s a possibility!”
