Even in its offseason, Game Of Thrones may still be the most talked about show in the world.
Despite the fact that Thrones won’t be returning until 2019 (probably), fans are still clamoring for any ounce of information they can get. Whether it be major spoilers such as who dies next season or minor spoilers like how Jon lasts in bed with Dany (probably not long), fans around the world are looking for the slightest fix of their favorite television show.
And the latest fix comes from none other than Samwell Tarly, or at least the actor who plays Samwell, John Bradley. Bradley, speaking with TV Guide, discussed some very, very vague details about the show’s final season. Obviously, Bradley says that the “stakes definitely feel ramped up” in the final season.

He did reveal that this season would push all the characters we know and love (and some we hate) into new territory that will seriously test them. As an actor, he says, that’s the greatest treat of all. Finding out new things about someone you’ve been playing for years, simply because he or she has finally been placed in a setting or situation that’s entirely new to them.
“These characters are so detailed and so rich, you can feel that you’ve got a pretty good handle on your character. You can predict how your character will react in any given circumstance, but when you place these characters in a new environment, it’s always putting them under a microscope, and you constantly have to reexamine your character,” Bradley says. “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. The thrill is seeing how they react to it and how they respond… This season, I think, more than any other is stretching these characters.”
The premiere date for Game Of Thrones season 8 has yet to be announced.
