It's a few months to the airing of the final season of the mind thrilling Game of Thrones and according to some of the cast members, the producers' paranoia over leaks is growing stronger with each passing day.
In an interview with Nihal Arthanayake on BBC Radio 5 Live, Game of Thrones star Iain Glen who plays as the right-hand man of Daenerys Targaryen stated that the producers' paranoia has gotten so bad that it caused issues with the cast.
“They're absolutely paranoid now about anyone finding out anything about the series and spoiling it. We weren't allowed a written word on a page. Everything was accessed through iPads with different security you had to get through to access it. Which caused a problem for the actors, I have to say.”
“But we find a way, either on phones or with pads, or different ways for it to be available on set.”
Despite all this, the actor promises fans to still looking forward to an "absolutely phenomenal" final season.
"This season was the first ever that we sat and read the entire arc of the story from beginning to end right through over the course of a day," the actor said.
"Kit (who plays Jon Snow), if he wasn't lying, had not read it, so he was reading it on that day for the first time."
Glen also revealed that the actors themselves were shocked as they read into how the shows plot twist was to be played out, but in the end, everyone was still happy with what was written
"Honestly, these six episodes are absolutely phenomenal. The writers really, really came up trumps. The way they pulled it all together was a real writing task.
"There were a lot of tears that day...and it's been a season of that because it's been a season of farewells and finishes."
Fans are still eager to know when the release for the new season will be, however, creators of the show have been tight-lipped about it thus far. Some fans signed-up for cable tv deals just to have HBO. At the moment the only thing known to fans is that the final season of the show will be aired in April 2019, as recently revealed by HBO.
US network executive, Casey Bloys from HBO, confirmed that Game of Thrones season eight would be out “sometime in 2019…first half".
He further added, “I’m not going to say what to expect (in the final season) through it’s pretty great.”
Season 8 will feature only 6 episodes, making it the shortest one yet but to make up for it it'll have some of the longest episode running times. With this, it still serves as the most time-consuming season when it comes to production.
