"Game of Thrones" star Maisie Williams recently appeared on the late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to promote her upcoming stop-motion animated film "Early Man." But of course, the host Kimmel could not resist probing the star with questions regarding the season 8 shoot of the phenomenal TV show. Thanks to that, fans now have an idea how the eighth season is going to end — or at least, they have more than what they started.
Williams, who plays the fierce Arya Stark on the show, was pretty tight-lipped about the show's ending. Naturally, she is not allowed to discuss details about the script, but she did share how "surreal" the ending would be. She thought it was "incredible," so much so that she had to lie down in bed while reading the script, presumably to let the "Game of Thrones" ending sink in easier.
But one of the biggest clues Williams dropped during the interview was the time she spent and yet to spend shooting the episodes. When Kimmel asked how much filming Williams still has ahead of her, she answered "A lot. Endless amounts. It's a mammoth task this year. It's huge."
Of course, Kimmel took this as a sign that Arya will be in most episodes, and it was only logical to infer that the younger Stark girl will survive the season 8 ordeal. But when asked if the seemingly endless shooting meant that she will be in a lot of episodes, Williams answered, "No, not necessarily. Cause some of the episodes take a really long time to shoot."
There was also talk about multiple endings to "Game of Thrones" season 8. Williams did not entertain the idea, but HBO president of programming Casey Bloys seemed to hint at it. The president once said that they do not have the budget for multiple endings, but then ended his statement by jokingly saying that "presidents don't always tell the truth."
