So divisive was the finale to Game of Thrones, rumours began circulating that showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss had better, alternate cuts up their sleeves.
Due to the television adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s epic saga of books needing to overtake the original source material, the logic followed that Benioff & Weiss may have tested out multiple conclusions to the series in the writers’ room.
With the stakes never higher, fans speculated that this process may have made it onto the set, with the cast filming multiple takes of various outcomes to keep fans happy.
However, when Maisie Williams, who played the intrepid daughter of Ned Stark, Arya, appeared at the Sky Up Next showcase, she confirmed categorically that these rumours were untrue.
