"Game of Thrones" star Maisie Williams, who plays the innocent-girl-turned-assassin Arya Stark, revealed this year's upcoming Season 7 will be similar to Season 6. It will showcase a fair share of misery and horror. However, there will be feel-good moments when the characters almost achieved their goals.
Williams guested on ITV's "This Morning" and hinted the upcoming season will have the conflicts starting to bubble as well as crushing defeats and victories. She likewise mentioned her character's storyline.
"This year it really kind of heats up," Williams told the program hosts. "Particularly for Arya, there's some really high points. There's some really low points, too."
In Season 6, Arya Stark lived as a blind beggar on the streets of Braavos where she survived the assassin school. She was on her way home when she killed Walder Frey and his two sons to avenge the death of her mother, brother and sister-in-law during the Red Wedding.
Williams expressed that part of the beautiful moments she has in the "Game of Thrones" set are the people she worked with. Special mention went to Sophie Turner who plays her on-screen elder sister Sansa Stark. The Stark siblings become close in real life and Williams even considers Turner her big sister.
Williams has been vocal of her frustration when it comes to "Game of Thrones" leaks. Since the HBO fantasy series is a worldwide hit, it is often the subject of theories, speculations and leaks which makes her upset, she confessed to RadioTimes. The actress said only a few people watch the leaks compared to the real followers of the series.
In another interview, Williams revealed it is not easy for her to say goodbye to her "Game of Thrones" character with one more year to go after Season 7. She will feel strange not to have it around as it has been her security blanket and safety net, she told Entertainment Tonight during the SAG Awards 2017 on Jan. 29, Sunday, in Los Angeles.
The 19-year-old Bristol-born actress admitted though that her life after "Game of Thrones" may give her a chance for other acting career opportunities. Before that happens, she is trying to give justice to playing the younger Stark girl and hopes the fans will be happy.
