Maisie Williams reveals whether she'd consider returning as Arya Stark in a Game of Thrones spinoff. The HBO fantasy show adapted from George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novel series ran for eight seasons from 2011-19, and for much of that time was one of the most acclaimed shows on television. It holds the drama series record of 59 Primetime Emmy wins, and while season 8 proved a divisive conclusion, many still consider it among the greatest TV shows ever made.
While it followed an ensemble cast of characters with interwoven narratives, one of the most popular protagonists was Williams' Arya Stark, whose arc was one of the show's most drastic. Though she endured many hardships, as did all the Stark siblings, her defiant spirit led to her being trained as a Faceless One, skills she then used to wreak havoc on her family's enemies. In season 8, she became the one to finally kill the Night King and defeat the White Walker threat, making her one of the show's most accomplished heroes.
