Game of Thrones’ final season wasn’t as hated as you think, and we have proof

According to the online chatter, Game of Thrones‘ eighth season was a huge disappointment. Critics slammed Thrones‘ final batch of episodes for their rushed pace and sloppy storytelling, while fans were so outraged that over 1.7 million of them signed a petition asking HBO to film the entire season over.

However, an exclusive poll conducted by public opinion and data company YouGov shows that the naysayers may actually be the minority.

According to YouGov’s survey, 52% of the people who watched Game of Thrones‘ final season were either “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with it, and 72% of them think that the show deserves the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series. Only 41% of people surveyed said they were dissatisfied with season 8, with the rest having a neutral opinion.

YouGov polled 2,475 adults online about Game of Thrones and other Emmy nominees between August 21, 2019 and August 23, 2019, with a 3% margin of error. Of the respondents, 18% said they’d watched every episode of Game of Thrones. The same number said that HBO’s fantasy drama deserves the Emmy Awards’ Outstanding Drama Series trophy.

Those aren’t just good numbers for a show that took a drubbing from fans. They’re the best numbers of any show in the two lead Emmy races. Only 10% of the people YouGov surveyed said they’d watched every episode of Better Call Saul and This Is Us, which are competing against Game of Thrones for Outstanding Drama Series, while a whopping 70% of them have never even heard of poor Outstanding Comedy Series contender Fleabag.

If YouGov’s numbers hold true among Emmy voters, Game of Thrones should end up with at least one prize at the Primetime Emmy Awards next week. 

Still, all of that Thrones love didn’t translate into a loyal fanbase for Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. YouGov’s survey says that only 29% of respondents are interested in watching what the two filmmakers make next (31% said they “don’t know”).

That’s got to be concerning for Lucasfilm, which is banking on Benioff and Weiss to restart the big-screen Star Wars franchise after its post-Episode IX-hiatus, and Netflix, which just locked the duo into a nine-figure development deal.

You can find the full results of the YouGov Emmy poll below. The 71st Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony, where Game of Thrones is the odds-on favorite to take home plenty of gold, will air live on Fox on September 22, 2019, at 5:00 Pacific Time.

Denzel Washington and Josh Brolin nearly traded blows filming American Gangster
Josh Brolin and Denzel Washington in American Gangster.

Josh Brolin and Denzel Washington have both been stars in Hollywood for decades, and 2007's American Gangster brought them together as part of one of the most impressive ensembles of the 21st century. In a recent episode of In Depth with Graham Besinger, Brolin said that there wasn't total harmony across that cast. In fact, he and Washington almost got into a fight.

"Denzel showed up," Brolin said. "He was a little late to set, and there was a whole thing there. And then he showed me the lines ... He didn't change any of my lines, but he kind of changed the structure of it. And he said, 'I think I'm gonna put this down here, and I'm gonna put that up there.' But he wouldn't really look at me."

Andor creator says season 1’s success has given him complete creative freedom
Cassian stands by a hillside in Andor season 1.

When it premiered in late 2022, Andor's first season quickly emerged as one of the most critically acclaimed Star Wars titles of Lucasfilm's entire Disney-owned era. The show went on to earn eight Emmy nominations, including one for Outstanding Drama Series. According to Andor creator Tony Gilroy, the Rogue One prequel's extremely positive reception has helped him convince Disney and Lucasfilm to follow his vision for its second and final season.

Speaking with Empire, Gilroy told the outlet, "The critical appreciation of the show was really helpful, if not essential, in helping Disney choke down the price of what this is." Andor season 1 reportedly had a sizable budget of $250 million, and it seems likely, based on Gilroy's comments, that the show's second season will end up costing the same amount or more. Unlike some other blockbuster shows of the past few years, though, most Andor fans would argue that its first season's budget was used well and visible in every one of its episodes.

Kraven the Hunter’s early box office estimates aren’t looking good
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stands near fire in Kraven the Hunter.

It's been a long road for Kraven the Hunter. The forthcoming sixth film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe has been delayed three times over the past two years. It was originally set to hit theaters on January 13, 2023, before its release date was pushed first to October 6, 2023, and then to August 30, 2024. It was delayed again from that date and is now on the verge of hitting theaters this coming December. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Kraven the Hunter will receive the enthusiastic welcome at the box office that Sony Pictures may have hoped it would.

According to Box Office Pro, Kraven the Hunter is currently expected to earn between $20 million and $25 million in its domestic opening weekend. If that estimate proves to be true, that will be a quiet opening for a film that reportedly cost north of $100 million to make. For further context, a $25 million opening would put Kraven the Hunter ahead of Madame Web, which grossed just $15.3 million at the domestic box office in its first weekend earlier this year, but below Morbius, which raked in a larger $39 million opening in its debut weekend back in April 2022.
