Dinklage was interviewed by Popsugar recently and accidently revealed Tyrion’s fate on the show, which sees him journeying to Meereen to meet the Mother of Dragons, and coming face to face with a dragon himself.
When asked what burning question he would want George R.R Martin, author of the fantasy novels, “A Song of Fire and Ice” on which the TV series is based, to answer, Dinklage thought long and hard before answering:
“Do I die?” The pint-sized English actor ruminated out loud. “I just wanna know.”
He followed this statement by saying they would be filming for season six soon, giving away the fact that Tyrion Lannister does survive season 5.
“But I guess I just did a spoiler that I don’t die this season,” the Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor said with a rueful grin.
Fans of Dinklage, whose character has amassed a large number of followers since the show opened in 2011, will be relieved to learn he will not be one of the major characters Martin earlier said the show creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were planning on killing off during season 5, despite those characters not dying in the book version.
Tyrion, who fans are rooting for as a strong contender for the Iron Throne, will be around come season six. Whether he will ally himself with Daenerys Targaryen to support her claim in Westeros, or end up opposing her remains to be seen this season, which starts off in two weeks on HBO.
