The internet is abuzz with the news of Game of Thrones spinoff series on Jon Snow, now Arya Stark may appear too. The actor Maisie Williams has actually expressed on Movieweb that she will ‘Never Say Never’ to Arya Stark. Despite the consensus among long-time fans that the show ended up disappointingly, the entire series is still considered to be among the best. Game of Thrones undeniably set the bar high for project series for the small screen after its very first episode.
Legions of fans rooted for the Starks, hated the Lannisters and Boltons, not to mention the Freys for years. Viewers also closely watched Daenerys Targaryen grow from sister sold to matrimony for an army into Mother of Dragons, Rightful Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms… and all her titles. And then the finale season came as inversely unsatisfyingly swift as opposed to the well-thought, intricate and wittingly written first half the entire existing seasons’ run.

And now, HBO means to pick up where they left off. This time focusing on the path that Jon Snow took and Kit Harington is already on board. Although, the spinoff is still not officially with a green light. Details are not available but speculations have begun as to the content of the series. Included in these, are appearance of the existing Starks. Sansa, Queen of the North, Bran the Broken King of the Six Kingdoms and Arya, Slayer of the Night King.
The article cited Williams’ praise for the show and Harington. Her words:
Everything surrounding the story [of GOT] is very exciting. We had such a rich show, and there’s still so much story to tell. I think it’s really exciting, and I think that Kit is such a phenomenal actor. Him playing Jon Snow was just like a cultural reset. I think everything that he touches is magic, and I’m excited to see what it’s going to be.
As for whether Williams is open to reprising her role and Needle’s bearer:
It’s obviously a very exciting prospect, so never say never. I’m still learning so much from fans that I meet … and they’re always recounting the parts of the show that they love, the parts of the show that were meaningful for them and the parts of Arya’s journey that were meaningful for them. I feel like I’m learning it all for the first time in a way right now. So I’m still kind of piecing together what I think it should be, what I think would make people happy, and what I think would be fulfilling as well, as an actor, to do some kind of transition. We can’t just do the same thing that we did — it’s got to be new. But what are the parts that we would want to take with us and what are the parts that we would do differently? So I think I’m still kind of discovering that.

In addition, Brienne of Tarth actress Gwendoline Christie also said she would “relish” the chance to come back to her role if showrunners call her. It seems that everyone involved in the series would be amenable to the idea of coming back with the condition that it’s for a good story. By this, actress Emilia Clarke have stated that she is “done”. Understandably because by the end of Game of Thrones, Jon Snow actually killed Daenerys. Drogon picked up her body and flew away as far from the Red Keep as possible.
What would it take to rightfully and realistically convince Arya to come back to the North? let alone North of the Wall? We expect she will be dancing with Needle first for more songs to be sung when she comes back.
