Game of Thrones Season 8 scripts disappear after filming

If you’re looking for Game of Thrones Season 8 spoilers, you won’t find them in a leaked script.

The struggle is real when it comes to living without Game of Thrones in 2018. Thronies jump at the chance to learn any tidbit of information about Season 8’s plot.

Taking this into consideration, producers aren’t taking any chances when it comes to script leaks. In fact, they’re getting rid of the evidence altogether.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister on the hit HBO show, spoke to Elite Daily during the Cannes Film Festival, telling them after filming, each script is promptly deleted. He said:

"“They’re very, very strict. It’s reached a crazy level this year. We actually get the scripts, andthen when we’ve shot the scene — and we only have it digitally — and then when you’ve done the scene, it just vanishes. It’s like Mission: Impossible. ‘This will self-destruct.'”"

It makes complete sense that producers would take such measures to protect the final season of Game of Thrones.

While fans have theories on what could happen next season, the books in which the series is based from ended after season 5. And producers threw us a curve ball when they announced that season 8 wouldn’t air until 2019. So, fans are chomping at the bit to find out any scrap of information about season 8.

I know for me, I want to be surprised. But not everyone feels that way.

Game of Thrones producers aren’t the only ones going to such lengths to protect their scripts. Studios heightened security to prevent leaks to hackers and prevent actors from revealing too much through social media or during interviews.

Coster-Waldau also talked about his feelings about the ending. He believes the show is going out the right way and that he will miss his costars.

Game of Thrones season 8 will air in 2019.
