Some fans had feared that the referendum vote would impact the series, which is filmed in Northern Ireland.
HBO has assured ‘Game Of Thrones’ fans that Friday’s (June 23) referendum result in Britain will not impact the fantasy series. ‘GOT’ is filmed in Northern Ireland and was also thought to be partially funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
‘Game Of Thrones’ will not be impacted by Brexit.
But HBO say that Thrones fans needn’t worry that their favourite show will be impacted as the network hasn’t taken any money from the Fund for the last few seasons anyway. “We do not anticipate that the result of the EU Referendum will have any material effect on HBO producing Game of Thrones,” HBO said in a statement.
