Sophie Turner has dubbed the fan petition to remake the final season of Game of Thrones "disrespectful".
The actress played Sansa Stark on the HBO fantasy drama, which came to a conclusion on Sunday night (May 19) after eight seasons and 73 episodes.
While Sansa got a happy ending of sorts as the newly instated queen of the independent north, more than a million unhappy fans have signed a change.org petition asking for the entire final season to remade "with competent writers".

However, Sophie thinks the petition is "disrespectful" to everyone who "worked tirelessly" on the series.
"The thing about Game of Thrones that's always been amazing is the fact that there's always been crazy twists and turns, right from season one with Ned's beheading," she told the New York Times.
"So Daenerys becoming something of the Mad Queen – it shouldn't be such a negative thing for fans. It's a shock for sure, but I think it's just because it hasn't gone their way."

She added: "All of these petitions and things like that – I think it's disrespectful to the crew, and the writers, and the filmmakers who have worked tirelessly over 10 years, and for 11 months shooting the last season.
"Like 50-something night shoots. So many people worked so, so hard on it, and for people to just rubbish it because it's not what they want to see is just disrespectful."

Sophie's fellow GoT stars Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark) and Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm) have also expressed disappointment about the petition.
Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) though has already revealed how she would change season 8 if it were to be remade.
A divisive finale indeed!
