Game of Thrones terug in april 2019
HBO bevestigde eerder dat het achtste en laatste seizoen van Game of Thrones pas in 2019 terug zou keren. Toen was nog niet duidelijk wanneer, maar daar brengt actrice Maisie Williams nu verandering in. In een interview met Metro vertelde Williams dat de serie in april volgend jaar terug keert. Ze zei:
“We wrap in December and we air our first episode in April [2019]. That’s a four-month turnaround for these huge episodes. There’s a lot that goes into the final edit. You would not want to rush this season at all. We owe it to our audience and our fans to really do this final season to the best of our abilities.”
Over haar personage Arya vertelde ze:
“I’ve always said I wanted her to find peace. The things that have been driving her through her story have been very bitter and twisted and aggressive. I would love for Arya to find her true self again and let go of this anger and revenge that’s accompanied her on this journey. I’d love for her to be happy.”
