What Happened
Sophie Turner, known for her role as Sansa Stark in HBO’s Game of Thrones, recently shared her thoughts on the series finale and the possibility of reprising her role. In an interview with The Direct, Turner humorously remarked, “Show me the money,” when asked about returning to Westeros. However, she expressed mixed feelings about revisiting her character, stating, “I feel that I was very happy with the way Sansa ended her story in ‘Game of Thrones.'” Turner acknowledged that while many fans were dissatisfied with the series’ conclusion, she felt fortunate with Sansa’s ending.
Why It Matters
The discussion around Turner’s potential return comes amid the ongoing popularity of the Game of Thrones franchise, which has expanded with several spin-offs, including House of the Dragon and the upcoming A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Turner’s reflections highlight the complex emotions surrounding the series’ finale, which remains a topic of debate among fans. Despite the mixed reviews of the final season, Game of Thrones continues to be regarded as one of the most significant television series of the past decade.
What’s Next
As the Game of Thrones universe continues to grow, fans are left wondering if Turner will ever don Sansa’s heavy furs again. With the success of the spin-offs, there is potential for more stories set in Westeros, which could include familiar characters. Meanwhile, George R. R. Martin’s ongoing work on the A Song of Ice and Fire series remains a point of interest, as fans await the release of The Winds of Winter and subsequent novels.
