‘Game Of Thrones’ Alum Maisie Williams Introduces Her First Post-Arya Character

Maisie Williams will be remembered as Arya Stark for years to come, but the “Game of Thrones” actress is moving on to other jobs. She’ll star in a comedy series called “Two Weeks to Live” next year, and she took to Twitter on Sunday to introduce her new character.

She posted a photo of herself in the new show and said “it’s a joy to be playing” the new character, Kim. Williams’ hair is in long curls, but she still looks ready for action with her combat boots and packed truck.

The series, which doesn’t have a U.S. network yet, will follow Williams’ Kim, whose mother Tina (Sian Clifford, “Fleabag”) decided to raise her in seclusion and teach her survival techniques after her father’s death.

However, Kim decides it’s time to enter the real world as she becomes an adult. She meets two guys, Nicky (Mawaan Rizwan) and Jay (Taheen Modak), at their pub, and a prank gone wrong leads to a crazy series of events that puts them all on the run from both bloodthirsty gangsters and the cops.

Luckily, according to Sky, “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 and skin a deer to make a sleeping bag whilst perfectly reciting the lyrics to ‘I Will Survive.’ With her in their team, they might all just get out of this alive.”

The first season will consist of six half-hour episodes which will premiere in the U.K. on Sky One and streaming service NOW TV in 2020. An exact date has not been released yet.

Williams has several post-“Game of Thrones” projects in the works. She is part of “New Mutants,” an X-Men movie that keeps being pushed back and is currently set to release April 3, 2020. She is also starring in the thriller “The Owners,” a movie about a woman whose boyfriend plots a burglary.
