Of all the characters who survived Game Of Thrones, Arya Stark is the one who really made out like a bandit, sailing off on a ship of her own to explore uncharted seas and have adventures. Sadly we won’t be getting a spin-off series about this, but Maisie Williams reckons that Arya is doing just fine regardless.
Williams joined various Thrones co-stars, including Isaac Hempstead Wright, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Jacob Anderson and John Bradley at a San Diego Comic Con panel earlier today. When asked about Arya and what she’s up to, the young actress was pretty upbeat about her current situation, saying:
“I’m sure she’s having a wonderful time, like Dora The Explorer minus the bob, but maybe she’s cut a bob in, y’know? West of Westeros might like the bob, so who knows?”

Maisie Williams and her cast-mates also discussed some of the pushback to the final season of Thrones, which even saw some unhappy fans spread a petition to have the whole thing remade. Coster-Waldau mocked this idea, saying:
“Of course HBO are going to change the whole thing. That’s the power of the internet … When it comes to the end it’s going to piss you off not matter how it ends, cause it’s the end. Just don’t call people names.”
