A HBO executive has hinted the final episode of Game Of Thrones will be a bloody affair with many character deaths.
During a Best Of HBO panel at the INTV Conference in Israel, the channel’s senior vice president of drama Francesca Orsi recalled being at the table read for the season eight finale, where actors were forced to read out their own character deaths without advance warning.
Speaking to Variety, Francesca said: ‘[The table read] was a really powerful moment in our lives and our career.
‘None of the cast had received the scripts prior, and one by one they started to fall down to their deaths.’
So does this mean there’s one apocalyptic explosion? A climactic battle with all the main players in the same vicinity? We. Need. Answers.
The final season of Game Of Thrones is set to air next year, with many leaked pictures from filming hinting (spoiling) what we can possibly expect.
A castle was recently spotted being erected in Northern Ireland, which had odd whiffs of Winterfell about its design and décor.
There was also shots of the set in flames, along with hints which could see King’s Landing become the victim of Daenerys’ dragons.
Game Of Thrones returns to HBO and Sky Atlantic in 2019.
