HBO president Casey Bloys has revealed that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will shoot multiple versions of the finale to prevent spoilers.

"I know in Game of Thrones, the ending, they’re going to shoot multiple versions so that nobody really know what happens,” Bloys reportedly said.
“You have to do that on a long show. Because when you’re shooting something, people know. So they’re going to shoot multiple versions so that there’s no real definitive answer until the end.”
With this new tactic, once spoilers for the final season start making rounds online, it will be difficult to figure out what is real and what is not.
