People knew that Brexit was going to have a detrimental effect right across the board but they probably didn't imagine it would affect their favourite TV shows as well.
That was until news broke overnight that Britain leaving the EU could possibly affect production of Game of Thrones' final two seasons.
Well according to Northern Ireland Screen who provide funding as well as support to the HBO production, that isn't the case. They released a statement today in the aftermath of the Brexit result stating that they're expecting 'business as usual' for all TV and film productions made in Northern Ireland.
The full statement reads:
"This statement is to confirm that Northern Ireland Screen’s production funding comes from the Northern Ireland Executive through Invest NI and does not use monies provided from European funded programmes. We look forward to business as usual."
HBO also released a statement to Entertainment Weekly clarifying that they didn't see Brexit having any impact on the show's production.
‘We do not anticipate that the result of the EU Referendum will have any material effect on HBO producing Game Of Thrones,’
So are we Tyrion. So are we.
