We’ve known for a while now that we have to wait until 2019 for the eighth and final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, but there is one small silver lining, as Maisie Williams has revealed that it is set to premiere in April, rather than in the summer, as was the case with season seven.
“We wrap in December and we air our first episode in April [2019],” Williams told Metro. “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.”
As for where Williams would like to see Arya’s journey going, the young actress said: “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.”
