We've got a couple of winters to get through before we see the final season of Game of Thrones, but the cast are already tantalisingly close to knowing exactly what happens.

Teasing us in ways we thought only possible at the hands of Cersei Lannister, Ser Davos Seaworth himself has revealed that he has all of the scripts for season 8.

Not that he knows what's in them, mind you.

In a recent interview with IGN, Liam Cunningham revealed: "I got them all. I can't open them because of all the security, and I can't walk it out.

When asked if he'd read the all-important scripts yet, Liam dashed all of our hopes: "I can't open them!"

What to Read Next

Real-life three eyed raven Winter is Coming revealed that the cast will have gone through their read-throughs by now, and therefore will have been able to access the coveted digital scripts.

So somewhere out there is a bunch of smug actors all sworn to secrecy for at least the next year or so. Are we envious or not? We can't quite figure it out...

This is possibly the most difficult of them all, mainly because a) it only made its catwalk (cliffwalk?) debut this year so b) going to be hard to find at your local fancy-dress shop. 
  But if you've got the patience to braid a blonde wig and customise that one fake-fur coat you've got in your wardrobe, the one you haven't worn since the 1980s, it'll be worth the effort for the stirring music and rousing applause you'll get when you enter the party. 
  Maybe only take one of your dragons though, you don't want to accidentally lose one of them.pinterest

Something else that Ser Davos has recently let us in on is the fact that season 8's episodes are going to be bigger, longer and probably better than ever before.

"[The episodes are] definitely going to be bigger and what I hear is longer," he explained. "We're filming right up until the summer.

"When you think about it, up until last season we'd have six months to do ten episodes, so we're [doing] way more than that for six episodes."

Game of Thrones airs on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK. Pre-order the season 7 DVD or Blu-ray, or buy a digital download here.
