Sky has dropped the first glimpse of Game Of Thrones star Maisie Williams in the upcoming new comedy Two Weeks To Live – and we’re getting more excited by the minute.
Production has officially kicked off on the new six-part series, a comic tale of love and revenge born from a seemingly harmless prank that goes terribly wrong.
Masie takes on the role of Kim, a strange young misfit who was just a little girl when her dad died in murky circumstances. Following his death, Kim’s mum Tina whisked her away to a remote rural life of seclusion and bizarre survival techniques.
The teaser pic sees the 22-year-old star looking pensive as she sits on the bonnet of a 4×4 truck dressed in combat boots, trousers, and a big jacket.
Teasing what’s all the action, the synopsis reads: ‘Now all grown up, Kim sets out into the real world for the first time to begin a secret mission of honouring her father’s memory.
‘Meanwhile, socially awkward Nicky (Mawaan Rizwan) isn’t good at impressing girls, and when Kim walks into his and brother Jay’s (Taheen Modak) local pub, it sets in motion a chaotic series of events that puts all their lives in danger.
‘Who would have thought a few drinks and an ill-judged prank could go so violently wrong?’
It continues: ‘Tina (Sian Clifford) arrives in search of Kim and the unlikely crew soon find themselves on the run from murderous gangsters and the police with a massive bag of stolen cash.
‘But Kim is no ordinary fish out of water – she’s more like a great white shark who knows how to strip a Smith & Wesson SDVE pistol in 6 seconds flat and skin a deer to make a sleeping bag whilst perfectly reciting the lyrics to I Will Survive.
‘With her in their team, they might all just get out of this alive.’
Maisie’s role in Two Weeks To Live, which is created and written by Gaby Hull, was revealed back in June.
The actor will be joined by Fleabag’s Sian Clifford, Mawaan Rizwan, Taheen Modak, Kerry Howard, Thalissa Teixeira and Jason Flemyng.
Two Weeks to Live is coming to Sky One and NOW TV in 2020.
