While the new season of Game of Thrones is scheduled to air in the summer of 2017, an obscure Redditor going by the name of "Away For The Lads" has already scraped a pile of major plot in details from the show's upcoming seventh series.

For weeks, the enigmatic tattler claimed to have come into possession of a series of crucial plot points from the new season of Game of Thrones that he afterwards shared on Reddit

Some Details Exposed Seemed So Improbable That Most Reddit Readers Opted To Merely Downplay Them As Fake

The veracity of the leak was further questioned when Redditor stark and lannister claimed to have acquired insider information that would suggest the spoilers awayforthelads forsaken might indeed be false.

I know a couple of things about season 7 and my source is one of the major actors/actresses in the show but I will never share that information. However, when I read the leaker's comments a week ago I saw that his story was wrong based on what I know and I replied to one of his long comments saying that half of what he wrote was wrong.

Contrary to stark and Lannister's claims, paparazzi photos from Game of Thrones filming locations for the upcoming season seem to corroborate with away for the lads's leak, as observed (SPOILER ALERT) by devoted fans of the show.

The anonymous informer has since deleted his account from the platform, but fellow Reddit members were quick to document his 'predictions' (SPOILER ALERT).

We'll spare you the details, but if the leaked plot points are at least marginally correct - we're in for a wild, wild new season. Lords at HBO have yet to remark on the reported leak, and it has yet to be confirmed whether the spoilers are genuine or not true.
