Here are some highlights from our chat.
We were all devastated.

It was just so moving, having the fan base just react with such visceral passion.
So what are you thinking at that point?
A couple of days after, we started to get word that Amazon was interested.
They were just trying to make the deal work.
We had a couple of high profile fans actually call Jeff Bezos George R.R.
Martin and a couple of other people.
That helps.Yeah, but the show is in line with what [Jeff Bezos] is passionate about.
So, yeah, it was crazy.
It was a crazy couple of weeks.
Maybe it can go there.
Weve had a history there, and theyve been really supportive to us.
It was our best shot, for sure.
We were at this space conference for private space entrepreneurs.
We had planned this trip months ago.
It was a total coincidence.
I dont know why were talking about science to you guys, but …
Were there, and Jeff Bezos wanted to talk to us, and we spoke right before this dinner.
He was getting an award for his space company.
He was like, You know, I really love the show.
Im a huge fan of the books.
Were trying to make this work, but were not sure yet, but were optimistic.
Just completely took us by surprise.
It was a roar from the back of this room.
We were just all so tremendously relieved that this insane campaign had worked.
[See footage of announcement and the casts reaction below.]
How does the show change, if at all?
It definitely loosens up the restrictions that we have.
It definitely frees us up that way.
We can kind of take the gloves off with those things.
We havent really made any compromises thus far anyway.
So, full frontal?
[Laughs] Thats right.
Just walking around naked.Sure.
I think itll really service the story.
