Who will Maisie Williams play?
Williams will play the lead as a young misfit by the name of Kim Noakes. She lives quite a secluded country life. Suddenly, an unlikely prank goes wrong and Kim will find herself running for her life from a gangster and the police with a bag of stolen cash. She’ll rely on herself and survival skills she has learned throughout her life. The series will be a six-part venture and is produced by The Tunneland Humans outfit Kudos. It’s written by Gaby Hull (Cheat). The role will be unlike anything we’ve seen Williams in before.
Williams is excited for her new role
Williams is excited to be working on something new and different
this time around. “Looking forward to getting into something new, I think Two
Weeks To Live has really great potential and I want to make something
incredible with this wonderful team,” explained Williams.
Filming is expected to start
later this year. Jon Mountague, the Director of Comedy at Sky, said of Maisie,
“With Maisie Williams leading from the front, Two Weeks To Live is to
die for. Bold, British and very, very original, we can’t wait to wow audiences
with even more great comedy.”
What would it take for Arya to show up in a spin-off?
At San Diego Comic-Con, Williams and her co-stars Nikolaj
Coster-Waldau, Liam Cunningham, Jacob Anderson, Conleth Hill, and Isaac
Hempstead Wright spoke with Entertainment
Weekly about the likelihood of any of them doing a spin-off for Game
of Thrones.
Williams responded with, “If they invent zips and not have
leather costumes that are laced up, that would be cool.” Cunningham asked her,
“That’s all you would need?” And she responded with, “Yeah.”
Williams supports Arya’s killing of the Night King
Williams also spoke about that controversial death she dealt
the Night King in the final season. Some fans believe she
was aided by Jon Snow in the showdown. Arya thrust the final blow that
ended the Night King’s terror on the Seven Kingdoms. Williams is clearly not here
for resentment from fans, and explained herself at San Diego Comic-Con.
“She did that on her own. If we’re gonna give credit to
anyone, it’s Melisandre,” explained Williams. “She knew what she had to do to
put the mission in Arya’s head when she’s at her lowest point. After so long
being on her own, [Arya] has something to lose now. Being back with her family
has made her that much more vulnerable. So if we’re going to put it down to
anyone for helping her finish the job, it was Melisandre for the ‘brown eyes,
green eyes, blue eyes’ line.”
Williams will be back and taking names on our television screens soon, to the delight of fans everywhere in the upcoming Two Weeks To Live.
