Okay, so we know that 2019 is a long way off, but we also know that Game of Thrones' final season is going to be totally worth the wait. So why are there spoilers out there already?

Proving that nothing is sacred anymore, and that Varys' little birds are everywhere, it appears that some pretty big spoilers for GoT's eighth season are doing the rounds online.

Because we care about spoilers as much as you do, we're not going to explain what, or who, these alleged leaks involve, but they're out there if you really want to seek them out:

It's also worth noting that, as ever, these purported transcripts have not been verified - nor will they ever be - so they might just be the work of someone sneakier than Cersei herself.

Which is what we're hoping.

The leaked spoilers, which may or may not be accurate, follow the news that HBO won't be airing Thrones' long-awaited swan-song until 2019.

It's not all bad news, though, as HBO also confirmed that some of the series' fan-favorites from behind the scenes are back to blow us all away with the series' final six episodes.

The minds behind "Mother's Mercy" and "Battle of the Bastards" (David Nutter and Miguel Sapochnik) will be back to shoot episodes alongside creators David Benioff and DB Weiss.

And it sounds like those episodes are going to hit fans hard, as Kit Harington - who plays Jon Snow - recently admitted that he cried when the season's read-through was complete.

"I'm really emotional about [the end]," he confessed. "We had the read-through last week, in fact, so I know everything now. I cried at the end!"

Game of Thrones will return to HBO in 2019.
