Sophie Turner was in for a surprise when she received the script for the fifth season of “Game of Thrones.”
During an interview with HitFix, the actress explained the show is diverging from the novels in the upcoming season, which caused her to stop reading George R.R. Martin’s novels.
"I kind of read the 'Game of Thrones' books as the seasons [went on]," Turner said. "But now that the storyline and scripts are kind of going away from the books I decided I'm just going to read the scripts so I don't get confused and read the books later.”
"'Game of Thrones' is so unpredictable and it was a big surprise what is happening to her this season," Turner said later on in the interview. "I am so excited because it gives me the opportunity to work with new people and it goes in a completely different direction. I think the fans will really like where her storyline is going this season."
Turner, who plays Sansa Stark in the show, also isn’t sure how long the “Game of Thrones” season five production will take. Though the show is midway through their six-month filming schedule, Turner explained to HitFix things could go wrong on set.
"I mean it's very unpredictable because there are so many parts on 'Game of Thrones.' If someone gets injured? The schedule can just like totally flip and I could be shooting a lot longer or a lot shorter,” she said.
HBO has yet announce the premiere date of fifth season of “Game of Thrones.”
