The 48-year-old actor, who plays Tyrion Lannister in the hit HBO series, said it is better for a show to go out while still on top than dragging it to further more seasons.
"It's time. Storywise, not just for all our lives. It's the perfect time to end it. Sometimes shows stay on a little too long, the jumping-the-shark thing," Dinklage told Variety at the Sundance Film Festival studio.
Over seven seasons, Dinklage's character, Tyrion, has gone from simple Lannister royalty, to the Hand of the King for the eccentric Joffrey Baratheon, to a patricidal fugitive, and now he stands as the Hand of the Queen to Daenerys Targaryen.
The eighth and the final season of "Game of Thrones" is currently in production and will premier in 2019.
