Arya Stark is back in the fight!
Deadline reports today that Game of Thrones alum Maisie Williams is set to lead the new comedy series, Two Weeks To Live, from the UK entertainment company Sky TV.
Though she won’t be donning the classic Stark furs in this series, she will be putting her survival skills to the test once again.
Williams reportedly will play Kim, a woman raised by her single mother in a rural environment who is taught survival techniques following the suspicious death of her father. The series begins as now-adult Kim enters the real world and sets out on a mission to honor her dad.
According to CNN, Sky’s description of the character reads, “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, skin a deer to make a sleeping bag, and perform all the routines from Dirty Dancing.”
The series, written by Gaby Hull, will be released in six parts.
Williams said in a release, “Looking forward to getting into something new, I think 'Two Weeks To Live' has really great potential and I want to make something incredible with this wonderful team!”
I think I can speak for all fans when I say that I'm looking forward to seeing Williams play another badass woman on the small screen.
