Maisie Williams Moves Past ‘Game Of Thrones’ With New Comedy For Sky

“Game of Thrones” is old news for Maisie Williams, as the actress has recently signed on to a new comedy series from Sky UK.

Variety reports that the former Arya Stark actress will take the lead in “Two Weeks to Live,” a six-part comedy series from Gaby Hull, the creator of the recent series “Cheat.” The series will follow Kim Noakes, a girl raised in obscurity as a woodland survivalist by her mother after the mysterious death of her father. Embarking out into the real world, she meets up with Nicky in his brother Dave's pub and befriends them. After a prank goes south, the three find themselves in grave danger.

“Looking forward to getting into something new,” Williams said. “I think ‘Two Weeks To Live’ has really great potential and I want to make something incredible with this wonderful team.”

Production on the series will get underway later this year, with plans to air in the U.K. and Ireland in 2020.

Williams can next be seen as Wolfsbane in the X-Men horror spin-off “The New Mutants,” which hits theaters in April 2020. Despite this date, Williams actually worked on the film prior to the final season of “Game of Thrones,” but production woes have forced massive delays on the production. Williams is also currently filming the burglary thriller, “The Owners,” and can be heard in the Rooster Teeth animated series, “gen:LOCK.”
