He won’t be privy to the coveted and no-doubt super protected script for the upcoming season, but the 32-year-old has given his thoughts on how the show can wrap and he suggests that it will be with a horrific murder.
‘I think Jamie [Nikolaj Coster-Waldau] is probably going to end up killing Cersei [Lena Headey],’ he told Yahoo7.
It’s the fan theory that has picked up pace in recent months as the sensation season seven played out.
But he also said: ‘I like the Sam fan theory. It’s that Samwell Tarly [John Bradley West] is narrating the whole thing, like it’s his story.’
Meanwhile, Game of Thrones’ Bryan Cogman has been with the show since its debut season and has now been signed up to work on an exciting fifth series for the network, reports Variety.

There were four prequels already on their way, but now it’s been claimed that GoT author and king, George RR Martin has now confirmed that there is a fifth project in development.
Speaking about the fifth writer, who was recruited in May this year, he reportedly said that aside from Thrones experts Elio Garcia and Linda Antonsson there was no one else who loved GoT as much.
‘I don’t know anyone who knows and loves Westeros as well as he does,’ Martin reportedly said.
Cogman has worked in several roles on the original HBO series, including as a writer and a co-executive producer.
Cogman wrote Stormborn for the second episode of season seven, as well as The Broken Man, which was the seventh episode of season six.
He joins Brian Helgeland, Carly Wray, Jane Goldman and Max Borenstein for the top secret projects.
But let’s be clear Martin has insisted that the shows are not spin-offs but prequels and that none of the main cast from the hit HBO series will be involved in the projects.
What we also know is that Martin has said that Robert’s Rebellion won’t be the focus of any prequels and characters such as Ser Duncan the Tall and Aegon the Unlikely, or Dunk and Egg will not be either.
