The final season is already two months into shooting, and Turner said the cast and crew are well aware of the impending end of the series.
"When we all had the read-through for the final season, it was very, very emotional," she said. "For the first time in Thrones history, we had everyone there."
Macall B. Polay/HBO"All of the Americans wanted to come over. Every single cast member was pretty much there," Turner continued. "We’re all kind of feeling the end of it coming. We’re all staying in town a little longer, going out for more meals, trying to get together more. We’re all trying not to take it for granted anymore."
Turner also stars as Jean Grey in the latest "X-Men" films and will be the central character in the next installment, "Dark Phoenix," which arrives November 2018.
