And then after a couple of years, they got paranoid because there was some leaks so we had to get them only digital, on a PDF file. “And then the hack happened, so now were not even going to get the script. Now we are going to do a scene, we will be told whats going to happen and then we roll. Were all going to have earpieces for the scene and then someones going to tell you the line and then you’re going to do the line,” Nikolaj said in an interview with Scandinavian talk show Skavlan. Game of Thrones season eight will film until summer next year, with the six final episodes of the series set to debut at some point towards the end of 2018 or in 2019.
