A Game of Thrones star has revealed she was lured into a cult in a 'deeply personal' admission detailed in a new memoir.

While Game of Thrones may have concluded some five years ago now, we still hear a lot from the actors who were involved.

Whether that is because they are involved in new projects, or releasing books surrounding their time in the industry and life as a whole, it's rare to not hear from people involved in the HBO franchise.

Hannah Murray, who was known for playing Gilly in Game of Thrones, is set to release a memoir, where she will detail her life so far.

As per The Bookseller, Murray was sectioned due to her involvement with a wellness cult.

This took place during a busy time in her life, after filming scenes for the seventh season of Game of Thrones between 2016 and 2017.

All will be revealed by the 35-year-old actor in a 'deeply personal story' in the memoir titled 'The Make-Believe', which is scheduled for release sometime between 2025 and 2026.

Murray said: "The Make-Believe tells a deeply personal story that has lived inside me for many years and which it now feels vital to share.

"I could not be more thrilled to be working with Helen Conford, whose vision for the book aligns perfectly with mine," she added.

Hutchinson Heinemann, the memoir's publisher, added: "It’s about the acting world, but also about the way all of us act, hiding our vulnerabilities from everyone except the people trained to prey on them.

“This is the story of the blurred line between what is real, and what is an illusion; what we must accept and what we wish to be true; between solid earth beneath your feet and a world where anything is possible if you only commit."

Hutchinson Heinemann then touched on the cult Murray had mentioned, stating: "It is about the lure of those that tell us they can save us, and the deceptive structure of organisations that promise us 'wellness'.

"It’s about the acting world, but also about the way all of us act, hiding our vulnerabilities from everyone except the people trained to prey on them."

Murray has spoken previously about her love working on Game of Thrones, dubbing the filming for its final season as 'the end of school'.

She told ITV's Lorraine: "It feels like the end of school or the end of university with such an important group of people, I’m going to miss going to work with them every day.

“I think it’s going to take a while to really sink in how a phenomenon the show really is, that it’s the biggest show in the world and I’m in it."
