HBO's "Game of Thrones" has two more seasons of sword fights, dragons and blood battles before concluding in 2018. The final seasons are said to be shorter than the first six seasons.
The filming usually takes place in the second half of the year, and largely in Northern Ireland. This time, the followers of the show have been lucky to spot the cast members of the fantasy series.
In Northern Ireland, the latest sighting was Arya Stark actress Maisie Williams along with her on-screen sister Sansa Stark, played by Sophie Turner, Belfast Telegraph reported. Williams got this year her first Emmy nomination for playing the orphan-turned-assassin.
As for how the show should end, Williams thinks it should happen organically, as what is happening in her career. All good things do end. The 19-year-old actress has much respect for showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss. Their decision not to have the show just continue because of good ratings and viewership is good.
Williams knows the showrunners already have the end in mind when creating the show. She hopes that the right time will come for her to be able and have enough confidence to create a new character.
Followers of "Game of Thrones" have been wanting to see Walder Fray (David Bradley) after betraying and killing the Stark's mother, brother and his pregnant wife during The Red Wedding. Williams herself was thrilled about her revenge scene during Season 6 finale which people overall enjoyed. As for her character killing people on her death list to avenge her family, Williams is quite concerned.
"As an audience member, you're just like "Arya's a badass and she kills people and it's cool," and it's like, "yeah, thank you, I'm flattered," Williams told Variety. "But from a personal perspective, you can't just be like, "I play a really cool character, she kills everyone!"
Meeting Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Williams' character's known half elder brother with whom she is closest is an anticipated scene. The season finale revealed that Snow is actually her cousin and when asked if that would change their closeness, Williams believes it will not. However, the youngest Stark girl becoming a killer this time may not delight Snow whose goal is heroic and wants to protect his little sisters.
After reading the script for Season 7, Williams shared on social media it is nothing that prepares the viewers. The young girl Stark actress hinted "sh-t is real" and that she will start preparing the viewers by now.
