Game of Thrones to shoot multiple endings for series finale: Report 

is looking to an old-school tactic to preserve the mystery behind its highly anticipated eighth and final season.

report quoting HBO programming president Casey Bloys — who was speaking at Bethlehem’s Moravian College last week — the executive revealed

will film multiple endings for the series so even the show’s cast doesn’t know how the story will end.
