Maybe we haven’t seen the last of Arya Stark after all. Just recently, the news was broken that a Game of Thrones sequel series is in development at HBO. The planned series, which is not officially greenlit just yet, would star Kit Harington reprising his role as Jon Snow. This news was surprising for many as it had previously been reported that the only spinoffs in development were all prequels.
With the Game of Thrones story potentially moving forward with the Jon Snow series, which is operating under the working title of Snow, other stars of the original show have been weighing in. Emilia Clarke revealed that Snow was personally developed by Harington, confirming the series as he had spoken with her about it. Gwendoline Christie also said she was excited by the news and would “relish” the opportunity to return as Brienne of Tarth if HBO gives her the call.

In a new interview with People, Maisie Williams has joined her former co-stars in expressing her excitement for the Jon Snow show. She is happy about the news as she feels there is still “so much story” that is left to be told in the Game of Thrones universe involving the survivors of the original series. Williams goes on to praise Harington and makes it clear she’s looking forward to the spinoff.
But Would Maisie Williams Be Willing to Return as Arya Stark?

Moving forward with Game of Thrones in a sequel story does present the possibility of Williams returning as Arya Stark. But would she be willing to reprise the role, perhaps in her own spinoff series if not in the Jon Snow spinoff? Williams told People that she’s open to the idea by saying “never say never,” but it would depend upon getting the right idea for Arya’s return, and she’s not quite sure that she’s there yet, explaining that she’s still learning about who Arya really is.
Time will tell if Arya Stark returns, but it’s clearly something many fans want to see happen.
