A petition to call on HBO to remake the eighth and the final season of “Game of Thrones” with new writers has surpassed a quarter of a million signatures, CNBC reported.
The online petition was launched last Thursday, but gained traction on Wednesday when it went from 15,000 signatures to more than 250,000 in less than 24 hours.
It had reached 275,765 signatures at 5 a.m. ET.
Unlike previous seasons, the final series of “Game of Thrones” has not been based on George R. R. Martin’s novels, and instead has been written by showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
