Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss recently expressed a single change they would have liked to make in the series: bringing back Mord, the jailer from Season 1. Mord was the character who interacted with Tyrion Lannister at The Eyrie. Benioff and Weiss envisioned a scene where Mord could have appeared as a tavern owner, having used the gold from Tyrion to establish the business, but the idea came too late to be incorporated into the show. Although Game of Thrones concluded in 2019 with mixed reactions to its final season, the world of Westeros continues to expand with several spin-offs, including the already released 'House of the Dragon' and upcoming series such as 'Dunk and Egg', 'Snow', and 'The Sea Snake'.
