"They're absolutely paranoid now about anyone finding out anything about the series and spoiling it," he said. "We weren't allowed a written word on a page. Everything was accessed through iPads with different security you had to get through to access it. Which caused a problem for the actors, I have to say. "

Ian Glen further talked about Game of Thrones' final season and how it is going to be full of shocks for everyone, reports BBC.

He said: "This season was the first ever that we sat and read the entire arc of the story from beginning to end right through over the course of a day. Kit, if he wasn't lying, had not read it, so he was reading it on that day for the first time."

Back in 2015, first four episodes of Game of Thrones season 5 made their way to the cyber world, ahead of their broadcast. It was later confirmed by HBO through a statement that the episodes of Game of Thrones were leaked by a group approved by HBO to receive them.
