Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams has opened up about reprising her role as Arya Stark in the rumoured spin-off series. In a 2024 blog post, George RR Martin, the author and creator of the A Song of Ice and Fire series that inspired Game of Thrones, hinted at a spin-off project centred on Williams' character. In the post, he wrote: "We also got together with Maisie Williams for pizza and pasta, and talked about… well, no, better not get into that, do not want to jinx it. But it could be so much fun."
