HBO has been keeping details about "Game of Thrones" season 8 under wraps, but its stars are continuously giving away little teasers. For one, Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) teased the season finale's final scripts, while John Bradley (Samwell Tarly) talked about a big shift in the remaining characters of the series.
In an interview with TV Guide, Bradley revealed that the show's cast and crew are now feeling the pressure of delivering the much-anticipated series finale. Thus, they are now "raising the stakes" to unveil the most satisfying ending for the fans.
The 29-year-old star also unveiled that the fan-favorite characters will be put into unfamiliar situations in "Game of Thrones" season 8. "Each of the characters this year is placed in a completely alien environment at some point in the season that they've never been placed in before," he teased.
The final season of the series based on George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" novel will be putting its characters to the test. Thus, fans have to wait and see how these roles would be adapting to the new environment they will be put into.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Turner talked about the recent table-reading they had for "Game of Thrones" season 8's final scripts. "We had the read-through a while ago and at the end of it, we were all on our feet, applauding and crying," she said.
The 21-year-old star described that it was an amazing feeling to have everyone who has been part of the show in the final table-read. They closed the windows' blinds, allowed themselves to be shut out from the world, and spent six hours inside the room reading everything through.
Joe Jonas' fiance also revealed that reading "Game of Thrones" season 8's final scripts made them laugh and cry. As they were all left emotional, they thought that they still have eight months to go before they will bid their final good-byes to each other and the show. "We've still got a while to get through!'" she added.
HBO has yet to announce "Game of Thrones" season 8's official release date, but it is expected to be out sometime in 2019.
