Conleth Hill in ‘Game of Thrones’ Speaking in an interview about Game of Thrones ending in 2019, Benioff said: “HBO would have been happy for the show to keep going, to have more episodes in the final season.” Explaining that he and Weiss had refused, he added: “As much as they wanted more, they understood that this is where the story ends.” Hill is currently starring in The Power of Parker, a Nineties-set BBC One sitcom about a middle-aged love triangle.
