More than 19 million US viewers watched the series finale of television's Game of Thrones - a record audience for HBO, the cable channel said on Monday. "Game of Thrones" is available in over 150 countries worldwide, but HBO said viewing data is not easily retrieved in many of those markets, making a global figure impossible to calculate. Over 1.2 million fans worldwide had signed a Change.org petition by Monday, criticising Season 8 and calling for a remake. It will be set thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones.
